Christus kroont Maria 1673

This etching, *Christus kroont Maria*, was created by Louis Abry in 1673. The print depicts a scene where Christ, standing on a pedestal, crowns Mary as Queen of Heaven while Saint John the Baptist stands to the right. The composition is a classic example of the Coronation of the Virgin, a popular subject in Baroque art. Abry's intricate use of linework and chiaroscuro enhances the drama and solemnity of the scene, highlighting the spiritual significance of the event. The etching's small dimensions, 259 mm high and 275 mm wide, suggest it was intended for private devotion.
