Assumption of Mary was a painting created by Greek painter Nikolaos Doxaras.

[1] There was an overwhelming demand by churches and patrons for the traditional Greek style paintings that overshadowed oil paintings few Greek artists such as El Greco were able to successfully maintain a workshop with an overwhelming output.

The integration of Flemish engravings by artists of the Heptanese School made it even more difficult for oil painters and the style was not popular.

Their contemporaries Emmanuel Tzanes and Theodore Poulakis each maintain a catalog of over 130 paintings.

[2] The Assumption of Mary is one of the most popular themes in Greek and Italian art from the inception of the new religion.

Precursors to Doxara's work included Titian, Tintoretto, and El Greco.

The painting bears similarities to Tintoretto's Assumption in both works angels hold up the Virgin Mary.

El Greco, Titian and Tintoretto's paintings all feature the Virgin in the same orientation.

The painter's shadows ideally reflect deeper space and create adequate spatial depth.
