Description

The Virgin Crowned by Two Angels is an undated engraving after Albrecht Dürer. The angels’ act of crowning Mary joins a familiar devotional figure with a sign of heavenly honor. The composition’s meaning rests on this relationship between the Virgin and the figures attending her, turning the crown into the focus of a sacred ceremony.

The subject invites the viewer to consider Mary’s spiritual role through an image of recognition rather than an extended narrative. Engraved line defines the figures and brings the elements of the ceremony together within a compact scene. The Virgin Crowned by Two Angels preserves the appeal of a Dürer composition through the work of another maker. The Metropolitan Museum of Art retains that distinction by cataloging the engraving as after Dürer.
