God the Father (wearing a papal tiara) and Jesus (holding the orb of the world) crown the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven. Above her, the dove of the Holy Spirit sparkles with divine light. Their massive throne—set in the gardens of Paradise—is covered with a sumptuous brocade cloth-of-honor and a scarlet canopy, whose curtains are drawn back by adoring angels. According to Roman Catholic tradition, Mary's Coronation honors her extraordinary contribution to human salvation.
