Coronation of the Virgin
Cornelis Schut captures the ultimate heavenly family reunion in this dynamic Baroque drawing. God the Father and Jesus Christ perch on swirling clouds, working together to place a crown on the Virgin Mary's head while she looks up in awe. Hovering right above them is a dove representing the Holy Spirit, completing the Holy Trinity in one dramatic composition. The energetic, scratchy lines give the scene a sense of motion, making the clouds look like they are actively churning beneath these divine figures.
