Coronation of the Virgin 1483

Domenico Ghirlandaio's "Coronation of the Virgin" (1483) is a vibrant example of the Early Renaissance style in Florence. The painting depicts the moment Christ crowns the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven, surrounded by angels and saints. The composition features a distinct separation between the heavenly realm above and the earthly realm below, with figures kneeling in prayer. Ghirlandaio's use of perspective and light creates a sense of depth and realism, while the rich colors and intricate details contribute to the overall grandeur of the scene.
