The Assumption of the Virgin
Bergognone (Ambrogio di Stefano da Fossano)
Date unknown · Oil and gold on wood · European Paintings
A successful and popular painter of altarpieces, Bergognone worked for major churches throughout Lombardy, including the Incoronata in Lodi and the Certosa of Pavia. This picture, which dates from the early sixteenth century, formed the center panel of a large polyptych. Its delicacy is typical of his work. The metal stars on the Virgin's dress are probably later additions.
