The Coronation of the Virgin 1480 - 1490

"The Coronation of the Virgin" is an anonymous artwork from the late 15th century that depicts the moment when God the Father and Christ crown the Virgin Mary. This scene, common in religious art, symbolizes Mary's divine status and her role as Queen of Heaven. The figures are drawn with simple lines and filled with flat washes of color, characteristic of the late Gothic style. The composition is balanced and symmetrical, placing the Virgin at the center, flanked by God and Christ, and topped by the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. This work offers a glimpse into the religious beliefs and artistic practices of the late 15th century.
