Polyptych (detail)

c. 1350
Tempera on panel, 167 x 285 cm

The detail shows the figures of the central panel of the polyptych, the Coronation of the Virgin. The polyptych presents a striking contrast between the small lateral scenes and the large central figures with their remarkable arabesque grace.
