EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite masterpiece known as "Crowning of the Virgin, or Madonna of Monteluce". Created between 1505 and 1525 by Giovanni Francesco Penni (il Fattore), this oil on panel painting measures an impressive 354x232 cm. Housed in the prestigious Vatican Museums and Galleries in Vatican City, it is a true testament to the artist's skill and devotion. The image depicts a momentous event from biblical lore - the coronation of the Virgin Mary. Surrounded by apostles, disciples, and other biblical figures, she stands at heaven's threshold adorned with a majestic crown. This celestial scene exudes divine grace and reverence. Penni's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; his mastery of light and shadow brings depth to each figure. The composition draws viewers into a sacred realm where they can contemplate their faith alongside these revered characters from the New Testament. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring painting through Stefano Baldini's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this profound moment firsthand. It serves as a reminder of both artistic brilliance and spiritual contemplation that has captivated audiences for centuries. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable print not only as an homage to Penni's genius but also as an invitation for us all to delve deeper into our own understanding of faith, artistry, and humanity itself.
