Annibale Carracci, together with Caravaggio, was the most influential painter of the seventeenth century and the main figure in the development of classicism. This picture was painted for Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini (1571–1621), shortly after Annibale’s arrival in Rome in 1595. In it, Annibale brought together two currents of Italian painting: a north Italian sensitivity to the effects of natural light and color, and the spatial organization and idealized figures associated with the Renaissance. Raphael’s frescoes in the Vatican inspired the composition, while the figure of God the Father was based on an ancient Roman sculpture.

Around 1595 the Bolognese painter Annibale Carracci moved to Rome, where he started to work for Cardinal Odoardo Farnese. The Coronation of the Virgin dates from Carracci’s first years in Rome, from the time when the artist was frescoing the Camerino of the Farnese Palace for Cardinal Odoardo. The painting is first documented in the inventory of 1603 of the possessions of Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini, Pope Clement VIII’s nephew. It is unclear if the Coronation of the Virgin was originally painted for Aldobrandini; he owned several works by the artist, including the Domine Quo Vadis? in the National Gallery, London. It has been suggested [see Ref. Loisel Legrand 1999] that the painting was a diplomatic gift to Aldobrandini—possibly from Odoardo Farnese. The original purpose of the canvas is also not known. It is likely to have been a devotional image for the cardinal, and may have been used as an altarpiece in his private chapel.

By the mid-seventeenth century, the Coronation of the Virgin was recorded in the Aldobrandini Villa at Monte Magnanapoli on the Quirinal in Rome [see Refs. Bellori 1664 and 1672, Malvasia 1678]. It remained in the Aldobrandini family and then passed through the hereditary line to the Pamphilj and Borghese families. The dealer Alexander Day bought the painting in Rome, before 1803, from Prince Borghese and brought it to England. It subsequently belonged to the poet Samuel Rogers (1833–55), the Dukes of Newcastle (1856–1937) and the art historian Sir Denis Mahon (1939–71).

Anna Jameson [see Ref. 1844] described the picture as "not only a perfect example of all the best qualities of Annibale, but it illustrates a particular era in his career as an artist". The Virgin appears at the center of the painting crowned by the Trinity: God the Father to the right, Christ to the left, and the dove of the Holy Ghost above. A glory of angels playing musical instruments and singing surrounds the central group. Carracci combined different styles and models which he had studied in Northern Italy first and then in Rome. The Venetian color of Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese is combined with the sweetness and delicacy of Correggio’s compositions from Parma. The general scheme of the painting is indebted to Raphael’s fresco of the Disputa in the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican, and the figure of God the Father is based on sculpture from classical antiquity.

A drawing by Carracci related to this painting survives in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Dijon. The composition was engraved in 1741 by Johann Jakob Frey [see Images].
