text:
Christ Bearing the Soul of the Virgin is a tempera on panel painting measuring 27.5 by 17.5 cm by the Italian Renaissance painter Andrea Mantegna. It was completed around 1462 and is now in the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Ferrara. It shows Christ in an almond-shaped cloud bearing the soul of the Virgin Mary straight to heaven after her death, accompanied by cherubs. The soul is represented by a statuette, rather than the more usual symbol of a child.
