The Oddi altar is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Raphael. The crowning of the Virgin simply shows somewhat of a split screen — the upper section shows the virgin being crowned, while musicians play; the lower section shows the audience. Executed in 1502-1503, it is housed in the Vatican Pinacoteca.
