Madonna Crowned By An Angel 1520

Albrecht Durer's "Madonna Crowned By An Angel" (1520) is a masterfully crafted engraving that depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a bench, cradling the Christ Child. An angel, in flight above, holds a crown to place upon Mary's head. The work is striking in its use of light and shadow, and in the meticulous detail with which Durer captures the figures' expressions and the folds of their clothing. This engraving is a testament to Durer’s mastery of the medium and his deep devotion to the Christian faith.
