Coronation of the Virgin, Enguerrand Quarton

Coronation of the Virgin, Enguerrand Quarton

The Coronation of the Virgin is a common subject in art but the contract for this work specifies the unusual representation of the Father and Son of the Holy Trinity as identical figures (very rare in the 15th century, though there are other examples). Around the Trinity, blue and red angels. The depiction of Rome (left) and Jerusalem (right). Beneath this Purgatory (left) and Hell (right) open up, and in the centre the donor kneels before a Crucifixion.
