Museo di Capodimonte is drawing attention to Pinturicchio’s 'Assunzione della Vergine' in celebration of August 15, the Feast of the Assumption. The museum’s post identifies the work as a painting by Pinturicchio, born Bernardino di Betto, and workshop, created circa 1508-1510.
The artwork is an oil on panel depicting the Assumption of the Virgin. The museum’s notice pairs the painting with the religious observance of the day, placing the image in direct dialogue with the feast commemorated on August 15.
Pinturicchio is identified in the source material as a painter from Perugia, born around 1456 and died in Siena in 1513. The attribution to both the artist and workshop reflects the way the work is presented by the museum, which foregrounds the panel as part of its public-facing communications rather than as part of a newly announced exhibition or loan.
The Capodimonte post gives the work renewed visibility through a calendar-based spotlight, bringing one of the museum’s holdings into focus on a date long associated with Marian devotion. No additional display programme, exhibition title or installation details are provided in the source material.
The museum’s reference also underlines the work’s medium and date, noting that the panel was made circa 1508-1510. Beyond that, the verified information centres on the painting itself and the occasion for its highlight, with no further curatorial statement included in the source.
