Talk:Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Rubens)

National Gallery, Washington Assumption
The painting reproduced on this page is not the same work as the high altarpiece in the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp. It is a much smaller studio version; similar, but not the same. Should there be a history of the commission (from 1611 to 1626)? Iconography? --Stomme 10:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

NGA have an oil sketch; the painting itself is still in place in Antwerp C. I can't get through to the link on the NGA website; when i can I will clarify. Johnbod 13:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I just saw this painting as part of the permanent collection in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna Austria on June 24, 2008. I took a photo of the info. According to that info, it never hung in the Antwerp Chapel. It hung instead in the Lady's Chapel of the Jesuit Church in Antwerp from 1621-1776. No info on when it came to the Kunsthistorisches Museum --Wikimelody (talk) 21:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
