L'Assunzione della Vergine

ca. 1337–39
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
Bernardo Daddi fu il più importante pittore di Firenze della generazione successiva a Giotto. Questa tavola probabilmente formava la metà superiore di un’importante pala d’altare dipinta per la cappella del Sacro Cingolo nel duomo di Prato, vicino a Firenze, dove si conserva la preziosa reliquia della sacra cintola della Vergine. Qui la Vergine viene trasportata in cielo da sei angeli e, come prova della sua Assunzione, allunga la cintola in basso verso san Tommaso, le cui mani si possono vedere sul bordo sinistro inferiore della tavola. La metà inferiore della pala andata perduta probabilmente raffigurava san Tommaso insieme ad altri apostoli raccolti intorno al letto di morte della Vergine.
