This was his last and greatest interpretation of the Virgin’s Assumption, a favoured theme. Here Rubens depicts the moment when the Apostles gather at the Virgin’s empty tomb and witness her triumphant rise to heaven, as related by the apocryphal books of the Bible and Jacopo da Voragine’s Golden Legend (13th century). Unusually, Mary is wearing white, rather than the more traditional blue.
