Puccio di Simoni, Marienkrönung, Detail (The Coronation of the Virgin, detail)

            One of the oldest paintings owned by the museum is from the Florentine Puccio di Simone and dates from c. 1350. It shows Christ crowning his mother, the Virgin Mary. This was a beloved scene in Florentine art at the time and was often depicted with much ornamental splendour. The red hanging in the background, for instance, with its gold and grey motifs, imitates Chinese fabrics; the aureoles too are elaborately decorated. Striking and new for that time is the "flatness" of the figures: it is impossible to make out whether Mary and Jesus are sitting or "floating" in space.
