This detail from Ambrogio Bergognone's "Coronation of Mary" fresco, painted in 1515, depicts the moment of Mary's coronation as Queen of Heaven. God the Father, with a long white beard and robe, gestures towards Mary, who is being crowned by Christ, who is wearing a red robe and a blue cloak. The Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, hovers between them, representing divine grace. This intricate scene, filled with a multitude of angels and celestial beings, exemplifies the artistic richness and devotion of the Renaissance period.
