"Christ Crowning the Virgin" is a notable medieval mosaic created by the Italian artist Jacopo Torriti. This work is prominently displayed in the apse of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, one of the city's four major papal basilicas. The mosaic, completed around 1295, is a quintessential example of the Roman school of mosaic art that flourished during the late 13th century.

The mosaic depicts a celestial scene where Jesus Christ, seated on a lavish throne, places a crown upon the head of the Virgin Mary, who is also seated beside him. This coronation is observed by a host of angels and saints, creating a tableau that is both theologically rich and artistically complex. The composition reflects the Byzantine iconographic tradition, which was prevalent in Italy at the time, while also incorporating the emerging Gothic sensibilities that were spreading throughout Europe.

Jacopo Torriti, the artist behind this masterpiece, is known for his significant contributions to the Roman mosaic tradition. His works are characterized by their intricate detail, use of rich colors, and the incorporation of gold tesserae that create a shimmering effect, enhancing the spiritual and otherworldly atmosphere of the scenes he depicted.

"Christ Crowning the Virgin" is not only a testament to Torriti's skill as a mosaicist but also an important piece of ecclesiastical art that has played a role in the liturgical and cultural life of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore for centuries. The mosaic remains an object of veneration, as well as a key work for the study of medieval art, reflecting the artistic, cultural, and religious values of its time.
