The Assumption of the Virgin Mary or Assumption of the Holy Virgin, is a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, completed in 1626 as an altarpiece for the high altar of the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp, where it remains.

In Rubens' depiction of the Assumption of Mary, a choir of angels lifts her in a spiraling motion toward a burst of divine light.

Around her tomb are gathered 11 apostles (according to the legend that tells that Thomas was absent) — some with their arms raised in awe; others reaching to touch her discarded shroud.

A kneeling woman holds a flower, referring to the lilies that miraculously filled the empty coffin.

There is a smaller studio version, with some differences, in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Another version hangs on the right side altar of the castle church St. Peter and Paul in Kirchheim in Schwaben, Germany.
