Kroning van de Maagd Maria 1665 - 1698

"Kroning van de Maagd Maria" (1665-1698) is an etching by Johann Jakob von Sandrart depicting the Coronation of the Virgin Mary. The scene is divided into two parts: Above, three figures, likely God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ, place a crown on Mary's head. Below, two figures kneel in prayer, possibly Saints Dominic and Francis of Assisi, gazing upwards at the divine event. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Baroque artistic sensibilities with its dramatic composition and detailed figures.
