EDITORS COMMENTS
The Coronation of the Virgin," painted by Fra Angelico, also known as Fra Giovanni da Fiesole around 1430, is a masterpiece of the Early Renaissance found in the San Marco Museum in Florence, Italy. This tempera on panel painting depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary being crowned by Christ, the Son of God, and God the Father, surrounded by angels and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. The scene represents the completion of the Virgin Mary's earthly life, with her Assumption or Dormition into Heaven, an event celebrated in Christian liturgy on August 15th, known as the Feast of the Assumption. The painting is a testament to the Florentine School's artistic mastery during the Renaissance period, with its intricate details and realistic representation of human emotion. The Virgin Mary sits on a gnadenstuhl, or throne of mercy and grace, while angels play music in the background, symbolizing the hope and joy that comes with the glorification of the Mother of God. The Holy Trinity, represented by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, crowns Mary, signifying her exalted role as the Queen of Angels and the Queen of Heaven. The Coronation of the Virgin is a significant work of art in the Christian tradition, reflecting the New Testament account of the Virgin Mary's assumption into Heaven. It is a powerful reminder of the hope and faith that comes from the belief in the eternal life and glorification of the blessed Virgin Mary.
