Assumption of the Virgin is a c.1555 oil on canvas painting by Tintoretto, now in the I Gesuiti.[1][2] It and Presentation at the Temple (Gallerie dell'Accademia) were both originally painted for the church of Santa Maria dei Crociferi.[3] Its colouring is similar to that of Paolo Veronese[1] and Carlo Ridolfi wrote of it that originally Veronese had gained the commission for it before Tintoretto took it from him by promising to produce the work in Veronese's style.[3]
