This magnificent composition is the main picture of the altar, which the shop of jewelers ordered Botticelli for the chapel of St. Eligius, the patron of the workshop, which was in the famous monastery of San Marco. “Coronation” is divided into two parts, one representing the heavenly kingdom, and the other – the land where the saints instruct the people in faith – here are the fathers of the Church.
From left to right: St. John the Evangelist, portrayed with an appropriate gesture; St. Augustine writes in the book – a sign of his scholarly pursuits; Saint Jerome directed his admiring gaze into the heavens; St. Eligius, the patron of jewelers, looks at the parishioners from the picture, and his hand is raised in a blessing gesture.
Above, God the Father, in a crown similar to the papal, blesses the Virgin Mary and puts on it a magnificent golden crown sprinkled with pearls.
