Focus on The Coronation of Saint Rosalia and explain the abstract.
The Coronation of Saint Rosalia or Madonna and Child with Saints Rosalia, Peter and Paul is an oil on canvas painting made by Anthony van Dyck in 1629.
It and the compositionally similar The Vision of the Blessed Hermann Joseph (1630) were both painted for the chapel of the Fraternity of the senior bachelors (Sodaliteit van de Bejaerde Jongmans in Flemish) in Antwerp's Jesuit church, then named the Saint Ignatius Church but later renamed the St. Charles Borromeo Church. Both paintings remained there until 1776, when empress Maria Theresa of Austria acquired them, taking them to Vienna, where they both now hang in the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
