About this painting

She floats within a ring of light instead of sitting on a throne — the Assumption, the feast the commissioning church was named for, built into her posture. Below her, three angels sing around a small organ, a pun on that church's own name: Santa Maria in Organo.

Jerome holds a model of that same church; Benedict wears the reformed Olivetan habit the monastery kept. The monks' accounts record payments for gold and ultramarine, and gifts of pheasants and hares. Mantegna signed the canvas on the Feast of the Assumption, 15 August 1497.
