Coronation of the Virgin is an oil painting on canvas completed by Diego Velázquez between 1641 and 1644. Depicting the Holy Trinity crowning the Blessed Virgin Mary, it may have been commissioned for the oratory of the court of Elisabeth of France, queen consort to Philip IV of Spain, in the Real Alcázar of Madrid. The painting is presently held by the Museo del Prado.Painting: Diego Velázquez
