Madonna in Glory Crowned by Angels (Schr. 1113) 15th century

This 15th-century woodcut, titled "Madonna in Glory Crowned by Angels," depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with two angels crowning her. The image is filled with rich color and detail, using a simplified, almost geometric style common to woodcuts of this period. The use of a halo around Mary and Christ, along with the angels, highlights their divine status. This devotional image was likely created for private prayer, reflecting the growing popularity of personal religious imagery in the later Middle Ages. The artwork is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
