La Asunción de la Virgen

Bernardo Daddi Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952

Bernardo Daddi fue el pintor florentino más influyente de la generación posterior a Giotto. Este panel probablemente constituía la parte superior de un importante retablo pintado para la capilla del Sacro Cingolo en la catedral de Prato, cerca de Florencia, donde se conserva la venerada reliquia del cíngulo de la Virgen. Aquí, la Virgen es transportada al cielo por seis ángeles y, en prueba de su Asunción, entrega su cíngulo a Santo Tomás, cuyas manos son visibles en el extremo inferior izquierdo. En la mitad inferior del retablo, hoy perdida, seguramente aparecían Santo Tomás y los otros apóstoles reunidos alrededor del lecho de muerte de la Virgen.
