The Assumption Altarpiece was a 1529-1530 multi-panel painting by Moretto da Brescia. It is mainly oil on panel, although the two angels on the cornice are in tempera grassa verniciata.

Reconstruction

The whole work was originally in the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Gardone Val Trompia but was split up in 1805 and moved to the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.[1] All the panels remained there until 1812, when the two lower side panels (St Bonaventure and St Anthony of Padua and St Bernardino of Siena and St Louis of Toulouse) and three other paintings (one each by Boltraffio, Marco d'Oggiono and Carpaccio) were given to the Louvre in exchange for two paintings by Van Dyck and one each by Rubens, Jordaens and Rembrandt.[2]
