  • Assumption of Mary: let the angels not hold her by the hand or carry her, as is indecently depicted

    Madrid, Monastery of the Escorial;

    ,

    1593


    When Pacheco analysed how to depict the scene of the Assumption of Mary, the author states that representing Mary handled by the angels is not just an inadequate manner of depicting a such scene, but also a lack of decorum – since she ascended through the air without needing the angels to help her ascend or to carry her.
