The Ascension

Giovanni di Niccolò de Luteri, better known as Dosso Dossi (c. 1489–1542), was an Italian Renaissance painter who belonged to the School of Ferrara, painting in a style mainly influenced by Venetian painting, in particular Giorgione and early Titian. He painted many mythological subjects and allegories with a rather dream-like atmospheres, and often striking disharmonies in colour. His portraits also often show rather unusual poses or expressions.

Some of his other paintings are:The Virgin Appearing to Sts John the Baptist and John the Evangelist; Virgin of the Assumption and St. Michael the Archangel; Saint Michael; and The Stoning of Saint Stephen.
