“Coronation of the Virgin” presents a crowded scene, at the centre of it we can see Jesus coronating the Mother. Above the aura crown is the dove of the Holy Spirit and above it the figure of God the father. Because of the disposition of the figures it could be said that this represents the Holy Trinity paying homage to the Virgin Mary. A crowd of angels witnesses the scene, on a checkered floor that follows the rules of central perspective, there also are musician angels.
