"Coronation of the Virgin Mary", 1623-24, oil on canvas na wood, Pelplin cathedral

[...] Herman Han, Silesian-born author of altar paintings in the Cistercian churches in Oliwia and Pelplin, who devoted his whole life and oeuvre to Gdansk and Pomerania. His works are a combination of spiritualism and simple piety, traditionalism and elements of impressive freshness: the Coronation of the Virgin Mary, in Pelplin cathedral, is recognised as the most splendid expression of Marian piety in seventeenth-century Poland.
