The Coronation of the Virgin

The Coronation of the Virgin (c. 1492) is the only known collaborative composition between Florentine Renaissance masters Sandro Botticelli (1444/45-1510) and Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449-1494), and perhaps the last major work of Ghirlandaio’s career. These artists are known to have collaborated on a number of occasions during the course of their careers, including the decoration of the Sistine Chapel, yet the Coronation is the only surviving example of their shared participation in the design and execution of a single composition.
