Légende

The Coronation of the Virgin by a German artist of the sixteenth century, 1854. Painting newly acquired by the National Gallery in London. One of several paintings in '...a large collection, [which] lately belonged to Herr Kruger, of Minden, from whom they have been purchased for this country, on the recommendation of Mr. Dyce. The style of this picture...is eminently Byzantine, with an admixture of Gothic naturalism. The artist has endeavoured to give a grace, which might be almost described as coquettish, to the Virgin; and the features of the first two persons of the Trinity, though true, perhaps, to the physique exhibited in a German monastery, are utterly void of Divine character. The various details of the picture are highly curious and minutely executed, and enriched with gilding in various parts'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
