The Assumption Icon plaqueReproduction of a panel from an original 16th century Bergognone artworkBeautiful blues and vibrant colors accent the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin MaryWood plaque for easy hangingThis Assumption Icon plaque is a reproduction of the famous picture which dates from the early sixteenth century by artist Ambrogia Bergognone. It originally formed the center panel of a large polyptych probably for an altarpiece, and shows Mary being assumed into heaven. The vibrant colors of Mary's mantle and the surrounding angels help us to imagine the music coming from the heavenly hosts as they praise Our Lord and honor Our Lady. And the yellow angels are reminiscent of a mandoria, a medieval diamond shaped backdrop, symbolizing an opening into heaven. This icon on a wood plaque functions as a unique and interesting way to portray classic art. Hang this beautiful reproduction in any home or office and treasure it for years to come.
