During the Baroque era, the image of the Coronation of the Virgin became a powerful symbol for the Roman Catholic Church. This period of spiritual revival responded to the rise of Protestantism and inspired prolific artistic production in Europe and the Spanish colonies. Consequently, many European painters promoted this iconography, depicting the Virgin with grand eloquence. Their works were widely disseminated through prints, ensuring the widespread influence and reach of their artistic vision.

This 18th-century Peruvian depiction of the Coronation of the Virgin presents the Holy Virgin in a state of celestial glory, being crowned by the Holy Trinity and surrounded by various divinities. The Virgin is portrayed resting on a half moon and stepping on a snake, symbolizing evil, over a world encircled by two seraphim.

The Holy Trinity is represented with profound symbolism: God the Father as an elderly figure, Her Divine Son, Jesus Christ, as a young man, and the Holy Spirit as a dove. This triad, welcoming the Virgin into Heaven and crowning her, underscores the divine connection and sanctity of the scene. The faithful on earth gaze upward, their reverence mirrored in the heavenly embrace of the Trinity, highlighting the spiritual significance and veneration of the Virgin Mary in this representation.
