Above the Assumption we see the Coronation of the Virgin. The three scenes must be read as a time sequence from bottom to top with the Death of the Virgin, her Assumption and her Coronation. The two side panels depict various Saints in the attitude of adoring the central figure of the Madonna, while on the four pillars that delimit the various panels we see twelve small figures of Doctors of the Church (three per pillar). Above the two side panels are the Announcing Angel (on the left) and the Madonna Annunziata (on the right). The predella at the bottom depicts Nine scenes from the life of Jesus Christ while above the predella we have some very small scenes from the Old Testament. Detail of the Apostles.
