EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th-century oil painting by Stefan Lochner captures a moment of divine beauty and grace. The Virgin Mary, adorned in rich velvet and surrounded by a halo of angels, is crowned as the Queen of Heaven. She holds the Christ child tenderly in her arms, embodying purity and maternal love.
The dark background serves to highlight the ethereal figures of the angels, who delicately place the crown on Mary's head. The floor beneath her feet is scattered with red and white roses, symbolizing her innocence and virtue.
Lochner's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this masterpiece - from the intricate green palmettes woven into Mary's garments to the costly gold thread that shimmers in the light. The composition exudes a sense of serenity and reverence, inviting viewers to contemplate the sacred scene before them.
As we gaze upon this timeless work of art, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and devotion. Through Lochner's skillful brushwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of transcendent beauty that continues to inspire awe and wonder centuries later.
