The Coronation of the Virgin, Velázquez

It is considered one of the most outstanding religious paintings by the Spanish artist. The canvas was painted to be hung in the chapel of the queen-consort Elisabeth of France, at the Royal Alcázar of Madrid.
One can appreciate a link between the canvas and Isabel. The painting highlights the centrality of the Virgin Mary in the midst of the heavenly government, a theme that became a real issue for the Catholic Church with many governments and religions. This Mary is Jewish, daughter of Joachim and Anne, from a town in Palestine called Nazareth, and is the Theotokos, that is, the Mother of God. Mother of Christ and by filial adoption, mother of all born of Adam and Eve.
At the top, the three persons of the Christian Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, crowning the Virgin Mary, who remains seated on the clouds wrapped in rays of the sun and assumed by angels to the very center or heart of the divinity.
