Pendant with the Coronation of the Virgin

North Netherlandish

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14

The iconography of this roundel pendant of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child while being crowned by two angels refers both to the Virgin's role as the Queen of Heaven and to the Immaculate Conception. While the style is analogous to that of several examples of larger-scale sculpture variously attributed to Hainaut, Brabant, or Gelderland, the composition suggests an awareness of contemporary engraving on the subject--notably that by Wenzel von Olmütz, which is a copy in reverse of an engraving by the Master LCZ.
