The Coronation of the Virgin,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a magnificent masterpiece from the 15th century, is attributed to Willem Vrelant or his workshop. This exquisite artifact, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a manuscript cutting in tempera and liquid gold on parchment from a Book of Hours, dating back to around 1460/70. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, seated on a golden throne, surrounded by an array of angels. Christ, in his divine glory, bestows a golden crown upon her head, signifying her assumption into heaven. Mary, in her posture of humility and reverence, is in deep prayer, her hands folded in supplication. The scene is set against a backdrop of a lush, blue landscape, with golden rays of light emanating from Christ and illuminating the figures. The angels, both male and female, are depicted in various poses, some in adoration and others in attendance. The intricate details of their robes, haloed heads, and wings are rendered with meticulous care, showcasing the exceptional skill of the artist or workshop. This stunning artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the fifteenth century. It is a significant addition to the vast collection of European art at the Art Institute of Chicago, offering a glimpse into the religious and artistic practices of the time. The Coronation of the Virgin continues to captivate viewers with its beauty, intricacy, and historical significance.
