EDITORS COMMENTS
The Glorification of the Virgin has been a recurring theme in art throughout history, capturing the awe and reverence towards the Mother of God. From ancient times to the end of the 19th century, artists have sought to depict this divine figure in various forms. In "In Thee Rejoiceth All Creation" by Kavertsas, Franghias, created between 1615-1648, we witness a celestial celebration as all creation rejoices in honor of the Virgin Mary. This artwork portrays her as a symbol of purity and grace. "The Coronation of the Virgin" from 1493 showcases an ethereal moment where Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven. The artist captures her serene expression and majestic presence as she ascends to her rightful place alongside God. Similarly, "The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary" by Guido Reni in 1603 depicts Mary's ascent into heaven with utmost elegance and beauty. This painting exemplifies her divinity and emphasizes her role as an intercessor between humanity and God. Another notable piece is "Virgin, Called Plentiful Sky, " painted by Alexander Mokin at the end of the 19th century. Here, he portrays Mary enveloped in heavenly light while surrounded by cherubs—an embodiment of peace and serenity. Throughout these artworks such as "The Death of the Virgin" from 1531 or "The Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin" from 1526-1527, we witness both sorrowful moments marking Mary's passing and joyous occasions celebrating her exaltation. These contrasting themes highlight different aspects within religious devotion towards this revered figure. "The Coronation of The Virgin (Oddi Altarpiece)" completed between 1502-1503 presents a grand scene where angels adorn Mary with regal garments—a testament to her elevated status among all saints.
