Coronation of the Virgin (c. 1420) by Gentile da Fabriano
Coronation of the Virgin is a painting by Gentile da Fabriano, executed c. 1420, now in the Getty Museum. It originated as the front of the a processional banner - the reverse showed Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata and is now in Parma.
The banner was painted for a confraternity based at the San Francesco Monastery in Fabriano, the painter's birthplace - he had returned there from Brescia for a few months in spring 1420 before moving on to Florence. Ambrogio de' Bizochis was probably the intermediary between the painter and the confraternity - he was cousin to Egidio, brother of Gentile's wife.[1]
