Assumption of the Virgin is a masterful and imposing piece of art‚ spanning almost 7 feet in width and standing over 13 feet tall. The work was commissioned by the church of the Cistercian convent of Santo Domingo in Toledo to be the central panel of the church’s high altar‚ thus it should be imagined in its original form not as a single piece but one flanked by other religious artwork and alters including paintings of individual saints and the trinity.
