EDITORS COMMENTS
Polittico di Montelparo: The Coronation of the Virgin, painted by Niccolò Alunno in 1466, is a masterpiece of Renaissance art now housed in the Musei Vaticani in Rome. This exquisite tempera on panel painting depicts the glorification of the Virgin Mary as she is crowned by Christ, the Son of God, in the presence of God the Father and the Holy Spirit on the heavenly throne. The scene represents the Assumption of the Virgin, a significant event in Christian liturgy and theology, which celebrates Mary's assumption into heavenly glory following her death. Surrounding the central figure of the Virgin, angels play music and sing in celebration, symbolizing the hope and joy that comes from the belief in the Assumption. The painting is a testament to the School of Umbria's influence on Alunno's work, with its intricate details and delicate use of color. The Coronation of the Virgin is a culmination of the New Testament's themes of the Mother of God's exalted status as the Queen of Angels and the Queen of Heaven. The painting's completion in 1466 marks a significant moment in the artistic and spiritual history of Italy, as the Renaissance period saw a renewed interest in the veneration of the Virgin Mary and the celebration of her Assumption into heaven. The painting's intricate details, including the Bible open at Mary's feet and the Trinity depicted in the background, demonstrate Alunno's mastery of the Renaissance style and his deep understanding of Christian theology. The throne of grace and mercy on which Mary sits underscores her role as an intercessor and protector, offering hope and comfort to believers.
