"Assumption of Mary" by Palma Vecchio portrays the Catholic doctrine "The Assumption of Mary", also known as the "Feast of Saint Mary the Virgin" and the "Falling Asleep of the Blessed Virgin Mary", which held that the body of the Virgin Mary was "assumed" or moved physically into heaven "at the end of her earthly life". Most Catholics believed that this took place after a normal death (usually three days after in tradition), but some that Mary was still alive when it happened. On the ground are the Apostles, tightly packed in a group and in a variety of dramatic poses, most looking up at the unprecedented sight of the Virgin Mary rising to heaven. In the top zone, the Virgin Mary stands on clouds, removing her belt as Thomas (above the head of the apostle in green) hurries to the scene. Around her "throngs of angels are melted into clouds irradiated by heavenly light".
