Coronation of the Virgin

c. 1300
Mosaic
Duomo, Florence

The mosaic depicting the Coronation of the Virgin is above the main portal, inside of the Florence Cathedral. Christ is crowning the Virgin and blessing her at the same time. Angelic musicians, cherubim and seraphim surround the two. In this iconographic context the inclusion of the evangelists' symbols is highly unusual.
