Assumption
The painting is related to the theme of the Assumption of Mary, especially in the context of the celebration on August 15. The Assumption of Mary is a Christian holiday that celebrates the belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to heaven body and soul at the end of her earthly life.
The painting's vertical division can be seen as a metaphor for the separation between heaven and earth. The smooth transition between these sections suggests Mary's upward movement from earth to heaven.
