Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, by Bergognone (active 1481-1522). (I'll note that this is in the Met, which has been burned often by forgeries - it looks a little too modern to me to be early 16th c., although looking at the Apostles it may just be that the Virgin and Christ have been restored/overpainted)
Mosaics of the dormition, assumption, and coronation of Mary in St. Maria de Travestere, by Pietro Cavallini (late 13th century).

St. Maria de Travestere I didn't notice it earlier, but don't you mean Trastevere?
