Apotheosis of a Saint is a 1700 by Anton Domenico Gabbiani, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a saint ascending to heaven, surrounded by angels. The saint is dressed in a long robe and has their arms outstretched, with a halo above their head. The angels are shown in various poses, some playing musical instruments and others looking up at the saint. The scene is set against a dark background, with the figures and clouds illuminated by a bright light. The overall effect is one of drama and movement, with the saint and angels seeming to float upwards. This painting is an example of the Baroque style, characterized by dramatic lighting and intense emotions. For more information on this style, look up the Baroque movement.
