The Coronation of the Virgin


Today is the feast of the Coronation of the Virgin, being the Octave day of the Assumption.

Over the centuries many artists have painted commissions of this wonderful and joyful image. Here, to mark the feast is a somewhat less well-known one, by a less well known Spanish artist, of whom little is known beyond his years and places of birth and death.
