EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 15th-century masterpiece, "Virgin and Child Crowned by Angels" artist Colyn de Coter transports us to a world of divine beauty and serenity. The painting showcases the tender bond between the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, surrounded by a celestial host of angels. The scene unfolds with delicate details: the Virgin Mary cradles her precious child in her arms while being crowned by two angelic figures above. The golden crown symbolizes their sacred status as heavenly beings. In the background, an array of vibrant flowers adds bursts of color to the composition, including aquilegia (also known as columbine) and grannys bonnet. De Coter's skillful use of oil on panel brings depth and luminosity to every brushstroke. Gold leaf accents further enhance the ethereal atmosphere surrounding this holy moment. This artwork not only celebrates Christian iconography but also reflects societal values during the Northern Renaissance period. It emphasizes literacy through the presence of a book held by one angel, highlighting education's importance even for infants like Jesus. "Virgin and Child Crowned by Angels" is housed at Art Institute Chicago, where it continues to inspire awe among visitors who appreciate its timeless beauty. This stunning piece serves as a testament to De Coter's talent as well as his contribution to art history in Netherlandish painting.
