1479

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Crowned Man on a Throne with the Virgin Standing at the left is a 1479 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a man sitting on a throne with a crown and a tall, pointed hat. Next to him, a woman in a blue dress stands holding a small child. The background has a simple building with a green roof and a small figure sitting on a bench. The colors are flat and bright, with lots of red, yellow, and blue. The text around the image is in German and seems to be a moral lesson about good and evil. The style looks old-fashioned, with sharp lines and no shading. Look up the technique: woodcut next to see how this image was made.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
