Paolo de San Leocadio’s work represents the Dormition of the Virgin, surrounded by the apostles in an atmosphere of solemnity and devotion. The painting stands out for its detail and use of Renaissance perspective, with carefully composed figures and a background architecture that enhances the scene. San Leocadio combines Italian and Spanish influences, using oil paint to achieve vibrant colors and fine detail. His ability to capture spirituality and emotion makes this work a significant example of Renaissance religious art in the Iberian Peninsula.
