Description: | Signed: yes Description: This is a sketch for the ceiling of the chapel of the Guild of St Luc in the church of St Symphorien in Paris. There is no proof however that this project was ever carried out, as no finished composition derived from it has been identified. In the centre the Virgin Mary is being carried into heaven, where the Holy Trinity are waiting to receive her. St Joseph is holding a lily, and beyond him is the Ark of the Covenant. St John the Baptist is shown with his reed cross and a scroll. The apostles are gathered round an empty sarcophagus from where the Virgin has been assumed into Heaven. | Subjects: | religion (Assumption of the Virgin Mary) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Jollain, Pierre (French painter, 1720- ca. 1762) Æ Previously attributed to Lemoyne, François (French painter, 1688-1737) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9007... | Go to resource |
