Diptych with the Crucifixion and the Coronation of the Virgin

North French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 306

Paris became the principal center of ivory carving in Europe by about 1250 - a position it held for more than a century. This devotional diptych of exquisite quality juxtaposes the Glorification of the Virgin and the Passion of Christ. It opens like a book to be "read" in prayer.
