The Coronation of the Virgin by Fra Angelico

Couronnement de la Vierge Fra Angelico
This event is available in
French
Conference - meeting
With Bernard Pfister. As part of the "Un soir, une peinture" cycle.

This first religious work to be analyzed will take you straight to Paradise to witness the crowning of the Catholic intercessor par excellence, the Virgin Mary. The omnipresence of the Paradise number, combined with the Marian number in Fra Angelico's Coronation of the Virgin, will demonstrate that sacred numerology does exist. To find it, all you had to do was count! This numerology is capable of embodying a symbolic language. It supports a secret rhetoric inscribed in the work. Its decoding unquestionably enriches iconographic interpretation.
