About the Item
Antique Coronation of Mary Religious Chromolithograph with Gold Tones
This richly colored antique religious chromolithograph depicts the Coronation of the Virgin Mary, one of the most important devotional themes in Catholic iconography. The composition shows Mary seated among heavenly clouds, modestly inclining her head as Christ gently places the golden crown upon her, while God the Father looks on from the opposite side. Above them, the Holy Spirit appears in the form of the descending dove, radiating divine light. Surrounding the scene, four cherubs float among soft clouds, holding floral garlands and lilies as symbols of purity and divine grace.
The scene is executed in vibrant late-19th or early-20th century chromolithography, a technique prized for its intense color saturation and painterly softness. The gold halos, crown, and heavenly glow give the print a luminous presence that shifts beautifully with changing light. The palette combines warm golds, rich blues, soft flesh tones, and delicate pastels, making this one of the most visually striking devotional compositions of its type.
This image was most likely published in Germany for the Catholic devotional market, where high-quality chromolithographs were produced for churches, schools, and private home altars. The multilingual caption along the lower margin, referencing the Coronation of Mary in several European languages, confirms its international devotional circulation.
The Coronation of Mary is a theological subject derived from the belief in Mary’s assumption into heaven and her role as Queen of Heaven. This theme became especially popular in 19th-century Catholic visual culture as part of renewed Marian devotion. The imagery here directly reflects that revival, emphasizing gentleness, divine hierarchy, and celestial harmony.
Because of its powerful religious symbolism, radiant gold accents, and exceptional color quality, this print works beautifully both as a devotional object and as a decorative statement piece in classical, ecclesiastical, or traditional interiors. It also fits exceptionally well within collections of Catholic imagery, Marian iconography, or antique chromolithographs.
Condition
Good to very good antique condition. Light overall age toning consistent with age. Minor edge wear and soft handling marks visible at the margins. Colors remain strong and vibrant. No major tears or losses observed. Plate mark not present, as expected for chromolithography.
Framing Tips
This piece frames beautifully in a classic gold leaf frame to enhance the gold halos and crown. A deep dark blue, ivory, or soft champagne mat adds contrast and visual depth. For a more dramatic presentation, a black frame with gold inner slip also works extremely well.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene – Antique German Chromolithograph, c. 1895
This striking late 19th-century German chromolithograph depicts the moving biblical moment in which the risen Christ appears to Mary Magdalene following the Resurrection. Christ is shown standing in quiet majesty, halo radiant with divine light, His right hand placed gently over His heart in a gesture of compassion and reassurance. Mary Magdalene kneels before Him with deep devotion, her long flowing hair and rich garments emphasizing both humility and reverence.
The composition is set within a tranquil garden landscape, traditionally associated with the Resurrection narrative, reinforcing the spiritual symbolism of rebirth, forgiveness, and divine mercy. Christ’s red tunic and deep blue mantle radiate warmth and solemnity, while the soft golden halo creates a luminous focal point that draws the eye immediately to His face.
This scene, known in Christian tradition as *Noli Me Tangere* (“Touch Me Not”), represents one of the most emotionally powerful moments of the Gospel story. It became a highly favored subject in Catholic devotional art of the late 19th century, commonly displayed in prayer corners, chapels, religious schools, and family interiors.
Produced using high-quality chromolithography, this print achieves exceptional painterly depth, with delicate shading in the flesh tones, refined folds in the drapery, and beautifully layered landscape colors. The gold highlights of the halos and the saturated reds and blues are especially well preserved, reflecting the superior production standards of German devotional publishers during this period.
This is a visually commanding and spiritually meaningful artwork, highly desirable for Catholic collectors, sacred art interiors, and serious devotional art collections.
CONDITION REPORT
Good antique condition overall. Light, even age toning to the paper consistent with late 19th-century chromolithographs. Minor edge wear and very gentle corner softening visible upon close inspection. No major stains, no tears, and no restoration observed. Colors remain strong and vivid.
FRAMING TIPS
This print will display beautifully in a classic gilt or softly antiqued gold wooden frame to echo the sacred halo tones. For a more restrained interior, a dark walnut or black lacquer frame with a wide ivory mat and museum glass will create a dramatic devotional presentation.

Holy Family and Three Kings, c.1900 German Religious Chromolithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
Adoration of the Magi, c.1900 German Chromolithograph (Printed in Germany)
This beautiful early 20th-century German chromolithograph depicts the Adoration of the Magi, one of the most cherished subjects in Christian art. Printed around 1900–1920 by a major German devotional press, the work displays the hallmarks of high-quality chromolithographic craftsmanship: deep, luminous color; soft tonal transitions; richly layered stone-based pigments; and a gentle atmosphere that recalls late 19th-century academic religious painting.
The composition presents the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ Child, Joseph beside her, and the Three Kings kneeling in reverence as they present their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. A young attendant appears in the doorway holding another offering. The figures are rendered with delicately modeled expressions, soft haloes, and meticulously detailed robes—particularly the embroidered white garment of the kneeling king and the golden cloak of the standing monarch. These chromatic effects were achieved through multiple lithographic stones, a technique that reached its peak among German devotional publishers during this period.
The multilingual caption along the lower margin identifies the print for international Catholic distribution: “Anbetung der Könige. Adoration of the Three Kings. L’adoration des rois mages. L’adorazione dei Magi. La adoración de los Reyes Magos. Pokłon Trzech Króli.” This reflects the broad export networks of German publishers who supplied churches, monasteries, and private devotional homes throughout Europe and the Americas. The note “Printed in Germany” confirms its origin, consistent with presses in Munich, Dresden, Cologne, and Limburg, known for producing richly colored religious chromolithographs from the late 19th to early 20th century.
This work is unquestionably an original chromolithograph, not a modern reproduction. The image shows true stone-layered color rather than digital or offset dots, and the paper retains the matte texture, subtle toning, and characteristic stippled pigment structure associated with genuine early 20th-century chromolithography. The presence of the multilingual caption, period typography, and the “Printed in Germany” imprint further authenticate the piece.
Condition Report: Very good condition. Colors vivid and unfaded. Minor age toning to outer margins and small handling marks consistent with age. No tears, losses, or repairs observed. The bottom title and imprint text are sharp and fully legible.
Tips for Framing: Ideal for framing in a gilded or walnut frame to complement the warm palette and ceremonial richness of the scene. A cream or ivory mat enhances the devotional character and highlights the luminous tones of the garments. A darker frame with a wide mat can also create a refined, museum-style presentation.
