Kroning van Maria 1751

"Kroning van Maria" (Coronation of Mary) is a 1751 engraving by Dutch artist Jan Punt (1711-1779). The work depicts a scene of religious iconography: Mary, the mother of Jesus, is being crowned by God and angels. The image is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and captures the grandeur of the scene, using expressive lines and careful shading to depict the figures and the heavenly setting. The etching is an excellent example of Punt's artistic style and showcases the skill of Dutch engraving in the 18th century.
