# Coronation of the Virgin [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BRUYN, Barthel the Elder]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 87 x 71 cm ## Commentary Coronation of the Virgin c. 1515 Oil on oak panel, 87 x 71 cm Private collection This early work by the painter provides a synthesis of the late Gothic tradition with more contemporary, Renaissance elements. The hierarchical composition and the placing of the figures upon a traditional paved floor is influenced by late Gothic prototypes from 15th-century Cologne. The treatment of the firmament of angels, however, shows an awareness of new modes of pictorial representation, which developed as the influence of the Renaissance was felt more widely in Northern Europe. ## Related artworks - [Burgomaster Arnold von Brauweiler]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Man with Three Sons]() - [Portrait of a Noblewoman]() - [Portrait of a Woman]() - [Portrait of a Woman]() - [Portrait of a Woman with her Daughter]() - [Portrait of a Young Woman]() - [Portrait of Scholar Petrus von Clapis]() - [Skull in a Niche]() - [Vanitas Still-Life]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
