Filippino Lippi's "The Coronation of the Virgin" (1480) depicts the moment when God the Father crowns the Virgin Mary. The composition is set in an ethereal heaven, filled with angels and swirling clouds, and is framed by red drapery. The scene conveys the divine power and glory of the Virgin Mary, and the artistic style reflects the influence of the Florentine Renaissance, evident in the realistic details and elegant figures. The piece embodies the reverence and awe inspired by this key event in Catholic faith.
