"The Assumption of the Virgin from the Hours of Etienne Chevalier" is a notable illumination by the French painter Jean Fouquet, created as part of a richly decorated book of hours commissioned by Étienne Chevalier, a prominent 15th-century French patron and treasurer to King Charles VII. This particular miniature is a celebrated example of Fouquet's work and is significant for its display of the artist's mastery of color, composition, and the innovative incorporation of Renaissance spatial principles into the Northern European Gothic tradition.

The illumination depicts the moment of the Virgin Mary's Assumption into Heaven, a scene that has been a subject of Christian art for centuries. In Fouquet's rendition, the Virgin is shown being lifted by a host of angels towards the divine light, with her tomb below surrounded by the apostles. The work is characterized by its vivid colors, the use of gold leaf, and the detailed expressions of the figures, which convey a sense of human emotion and divine serenity.

Jean Fouquet, often considered the preeminent French painter of the 15th century, was known for his innovative approach to art, blending elements of the Italian Renaissance with the Northern Gothic style. His work on the Hours of Etienne Chevalier is particularly esteemed for its artistic quality and historical importance, as it reflects the transition between medieval manuscript illumination and the early modern era of painting.

The Hours of Etienne Chevalier, containing this miniature, is divided among several collections, with the majority of the folios held at the Musée Condé, Chantilly. The Assumption of the Virgin is one of the most admired pieces from this collection and serves as a testament to Fouquet's skill and the rich artistic culture of 15th-century France.
