ReplyDeleteThe Coronation of the Virgin is by Fra Angelico. In this painting the Christ is crowning the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven. I don’t why Fra Angelico made this painting. It's still interesting though.
ReplyDeleteThe Christ and the new queen of heaven are surrounded by rays( which I think they are like lasers). The rays are blocking the heavenly light. The light is supposed to go over the new queen of heaven.
This painting is has a mystic tone to it. It also has a large crowd of saints and angels. In the large crowd it also has blessed people.
