"The Assumption of the Virgin modello (1637)" is a preparatory oil sketch (modello) by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. Created as a design for a larger commissioned piece, this work exemplifies Rubens' mastery in capturing dynamic movement and his ability to convey spiritual ascension through the physicality of his figures. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary's ascent to heaven, a common theme in Christian art, particularly celebrated in the Catholic Church on the Feast of the Assumption.

In this modello, Rubens employs his characteristic vigorous brushwork and a rich, vibrant palette to create a sense of drama and immediacy. The composition is arranged in a vertical format, emphasizing the upward movement of the Virgin, who is surrounded by a host of angels and cherubs. Mary is typically shown with arms outstretched or raised in prayer, her gaze directed heavenward, as she is lifted by the celestial beings.

Rubens' treatment of the subject matter reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on grand, emotional, and sensory-rich religious imagery intended to inspire devotion and religious fervor among the faithful. The modello would have served as a visual guide for the final, larger work, allowing Rubens to plan the composition, color scheme, and overall impact of the piece.

The Assumption of the Virgin modello (1637) is notable for its art historical significance as a study for a major altarpiece and as an example of Rubens' skill in creating preparatory works that are artistically compelling in their own right. It provides insight into the artist's creative process and the methods by which large-scale baroque compositions were conceived and executed during the 17th century.
