This is a fresco fragment from Correggio's Coronation of the Virgin, which he painted in the apse of the church of S. Giovanni Evangelista in Parma, Italy. The fresco depicted Christ crowning the Virgin in heaven surrounded by the evangelists, doctors of the church and infant angels. Christ and the Virgin Mary were seated beneath a flowering garden pergola against the golden sun of paradise. These heads belonged to the two angels standing behind Saint John the Evangelist. The foremost angel was originally looking up at the Holy Ghost descending in the form of a white dove as Christ crowned the Virgin with a coronet of stars. The apse of the church was destroyed in the 1580s, but the central figures of Correggio’s fresco showing the coronation of the Virgin were saved and are in the Galleria Nazionale, Parma.
