GIOVANNI BATTISTA TROTTI (1555-1619)
The Assumption of the Virgin
c.1585RCIN 905046
The Disciples gather around the Virgin’s empty tomb as she ascends to heaven. This was probably the model for a lost altarpiece by Malosso. Two paintings are known that correspond with the composition, but both appear to be by members of Malosso’s large and busy studio, and derived from the master’s original design.
