1508, Luca Signorelli, The Coronation of the Virgin -- San Diego Museum of Art

            From the museum label: Luca Signorelli received commissions throughout central Italy, but he is best known for his extraordinary Last Judgment in the cathedral at Orvieto. His powerfully direct figures, particularly in those frescoes at Orvieto, served as an important influence on the young Michelangelo. This monumental lunette was originally the top of an altarpiece in Arcevia, a small town in the Italian Marches near Urbino. It shows the crowning of the Virgin Mary by Christ, with God the Father above and music-making angels at the side. The bold painting, bright colors, and masterful compression of the figures into the space are all typical of the artist, but they also account for the fact that this panel was seen at a distance, for it would have hung high above the heads of the congregation in the church.
