Scenes from the Life of the Virgin Mary-Dormitio Virginis by Filippo Lippi, Spoleto Cathedral (Umbria)

            Scenes from the Life of the Virgin Mary is a cycle of frescos by Filippo Lippi in Spoleto Cathedral.
The cycle was commissioned in 1466, when Lippi had completed his Stories of St. Stephen and St. John the Baptist at Prato Cathedral, and was abruptly terminated by Lippi's death in 1469, caused by poison according to Vasari's Lives of the Artists. His studio assistants completed the work in around three months. Lippi was buried in Spoleto Cathedral despite Lorenzo the Magnificent's request for the remains to be returned to Florence - Spoleto replied that unlike Florence their great new cathedral had no illustrious men buried in it.
