Apotheosis of the Virgin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork titled "Apotheosis of the Virgin" by an unknown artist features a scene with multiple figures. The image is a drawing divided into squares by thin lines. The scene depicts a group of people and cherubs in the sky with clouds. The central figure is a woman sitting on clouds, with her right arm outstretched and holding something in her left hand. She wears a long dress and has her hair covered. The woman appears to be surrounded by several cherubs. There are more figures on the bottom part of the image; one standing and looking up and another figure on the ground with cherubs. The standing figure on the bottom wears a long dress and a mitre, and holds a book. The color scheme is primarily shades of gray, with some brown and white. The overall mood appears to be religious and celebratory.
