About: This hand-carved oak panel depicts The Coronation of the Virgin an early 19th-century European Christian work created either for personal devotion or for use within the church. The plaque is as tactile in beauty as it is in its aesthetic and this becomes more evident when examining the worn patina from its sacramental history.
Christian Iconography has been prolific throughout art history and certain denominations have subtle variances in either style, narrative or execution. Whether it be painting, sculpture or printmaking often clues as to the ecclesiastical origins are left ingrained in the work. This plaque is likely to be of Roman Catholic origin and possibly part of a series of wall hangings portraying biblical parables.
