This 15th-century painting from Aragon or Catalonia marks the transition from Gothic to Renaissance art in Spain. Mary is enthroned, adorned with intricate brocade patterns and surrounded by symmetrical, stylized figures. Lavish gold leaf emphasizes divine radiance and spiritual grandeur. The work reflects the era’s devotion and artistic innovation, blending religious symbolism with emerging naturalism.
