BAS-RELIEF DE L'ASSOMPTION
in terracotta after a composition by Simon Vouet. The Virgin Mary rises to heaven after her death, her body carried away by the angels. Below, the frightened apostles discover her open, empty tomb. In the background, a temple facade supported by fluted Ionic columns.
France or Italy, late 17th century.
Height: 43.7 cm - Width: 28.2 cm
(Minor accidents, minor restorations)
In a gilded wood frame.
For this relief depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the artist used the composition produced around 1644 by Simon Vouet (1590-1649) for the Queen's oratory at the Palais Royal in Reims (now in the Musée Saint-Denis in Reims). This composition was known and circulated through an engraving by Michel Dorigny (1617 - 1665).
