"Coronation of Harold II" is a historical painting by Irish artist Daniel Maclise Formally educated at the Cork School of Art, and later at the Royal Academy in London, Maclise is known for his emblematic murals detailed in precision and acuity. This painting, completed in the 19th century, portrays the coronation of Harold Godwinson, who is historically recognized as the last crowned Anglo-Saxon king of England prior to the Norman conquest.

The painting displays a vivid scene capturing the tension and anxiety of Harold's accession to the throne, as the threat of invasion loomed over England. It is a very busy scene that sheds light upon the socio-political context and heraldic customs of 11th-century England. This voluminous painting stands as a testament to Maclise's aptitude for accuracy and detail in depicting historical events. He creatively uses light and color to emphasize the central figures and dramatize the story being depicted.

"Coronation of Harold II" not only provides insight into the medieval coronation ceremony but also allegorically represents the transitory and often contested nature of power, thereby merging historical recounting with thematic exploration. As per Maclise's characteristic style, the characters in the painting are dressed in period-correct attire, and the architecture represented is meticulously researched, further contributing to the painting's reception as a valuable artistic chronicle from the period.
