Coronal: A classic painting of a saint will have a corona radiating around his head. [image:680 align=right size=300w] 

The plane of the canvas will be cutting his head in the coronal plane. The coronal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.

 Sagittal plane is the remaining one by default and it divides the human body into right and left portions.
