"Coronation of Mary" (1475-1490) is a notable work of art by the Master of the Housebook, a mysterious and anonymous German artist active during the late 15th century. This artist, whose real identity remains unknown, was a significant figure in the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance style in Northern Europe. The "Coronation of Mary" is an exquisite example of his oeuvre, which is characterized by a combination of intricate detail and an emerging sense of perspective and volume.

The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary being crowned by Jesus Christ, a common theme in Christian art known as the Coronation of the Virgin. This event, not described in the Bible but popular in religious iconography, symbolizes Mary's elevation to Queen of Heaven after her Assumption. The Master of the Housebook's rendition of this scene is distinguished by its delicate execution and the use of vibrant colors, which were typical of the period's illuminated manuscripts and panel paintings.

The "Coronation of Mary" is executed in the medium of drypoint and engraving, showcasing the Master's expertise in printmaking, an art form that was gaining popularity at the time due to its ability to reproduce images for a wider audience. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with Mary and Jesus often depicted seated on a throne, surrounded by angels and sometimes by saints, reflecting the celestial hierarchy and the divine nature of the event.

As with many works by the Master of the Housebook, the exact location and ownership of the "Coronation of Mary" have been difficult to trace due to the lack of comprehensive records from the period. Nevertheless, the piece remains an important example of the artist's skill and the religious art of the late 15th century. It continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the development of Northern Renaissance art.
