EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite 14th century coronation of the Virgin, depicted in an ivory sculpture from the Louvre. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship of this medieval artwork are brought to life through a vibrant color lithograph featured in Henry Havard's Dictionnaire de l'ameublement et de la decoration. The image portrays a momentous scene as the Virgin Mary is crowned by her son, Jesus Christ, symbolizing her elevated status as Queen of Heaven. The French School artist skillfully captures the essence of this sacred event, emphasizing the grace and beauty of both mother and child. The statue itself exudes gothic elegance with its flowing drapery and ornate crown adorned with fleur-de-lys motifs. The Madonna's serene expression reflects her divine nature while evoking a sense of maternal tenderness towards her beloved son. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to the artistic mastery prevalent during the 14th century. Its presence in private collection further emphasizes its rarity and value as an important historical artifact. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are transported back in time to witness this significant moment in religious iconography. It reminds us of the enduring power and influence that art holds over our collective imagination throughout centuries past.
