1440 (ca.), Jan van Eyck, The Madonna in the Church -- Gemäldegalerie (Berlin)
From the museum label: The Madonna, portrayed disproportionately large in relation to the church building, appears as the Queen of Heaven wearing a crown set with precious stones. In her quality as Mother of God, Mary symbolises the church as a community of faithful Christians. The interior uniquely stands out from the painting of the period with its unusual rendering of light and shade.
