EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Ms 39-1950 f. 111r Coronation of the Virgin" by an anonymous French School artist from the 15th century. Housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, UK, this vellum manuscript is a testament to medieval craftsmanship. The image depicts a momentous scene from Christian history - the coronation of the Virgin Mary. The Virgin, adorned in a resplendent mantle and crowned with celestial glory, sits enthroned as she is elevated to her rightful place beside Jesus Christ. Surrounding them are angelic figures with wings outstretched, their presence adding an ethereal touch to this sacred event. Every detail has been meticulously rendered on this parchment page; from intricate scrolls and initial letters adorning its margins to delicate miniature illustrations that bring life to every corner. The late Gothic style shines through in its rich colors and ornate patterns. As one gazes upon this masterpiece, it becomes evident that it was created not only for religious devotion but also as a work of art meant to inspire awe and contemplation. Its historical significance cannot be overstated - serving as both an illuminated manuscript and a window into medieval spirituality. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this iconic piece without compromising any commercial use restrictions. This print invites viewers into a world where faith meets artistic brilliance, reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with religion and our collective desire for divine connection throughout time.
