Andrea Brustolon carved this altarpiece around 1720–1725. It shows the Virgin rising to heaven, flanked by saints and angels. The scene sits above a panel of souls in purgatory. The work once hung in a private Italian chapel before moving to the museum. It likely honored the Piloni family’s taste. Brustolon was known for his woodwork in this period.
