The Virgin Crowned by Angels

Stefan Lochner’s ‘The Virgin Crowned by Angels’ dates to around 1450. Oil on wood. It shows the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels, a common theme in Gothic art. Cleveland Museum of Art.

The painting features intricate iconography typical of Lochner’s work. The angels are depicted with delicate, fanciful details that reflect the Gothic style.

Lochner worked primarily in Cologne, a major artistic center of his time. His career was marked by rapid success but ended abruptly, likely due to the plague in 1451.
