Closer Look: Veneziano's "Coronation of the Virgin"
In this episode of Closer Look, Kassandra Ibrahim, Ayesha Bulchandani Education Intern, discusses Paolo Veneziano’s Coronation of the Virgin, on display on the third floor of Frick Madison. Kassandra explores how the trade connections cultivated in fourteenth-century Venice influenced Veneziano’s artistic production and use of materials from distant regions, such as China, Byzantium, and Egypt. This is the third episode in a series of three, featuring the Education Department's 2022 summer interns each taking an in-depth look at one object in our collection.
