Description
Mariotto Albertinelli follower of
Florence 1474 – Florence 1515
The Virgin with Child and the infant Saint John the Baptist
Olio on canvas
in 28,74x21,26

The painting depicts the Madonna, the Child, and Saint John the Baptist. The numerous and finely detailed elements are all of symbolic value, such as the open pomegranate, symbolizing the fullness of Jesus, His suffering, and resurrection. The composition of the work is balanced and symmetrical, with the figure of the Virgin Mary at the center, holding the infant Jesus in her lap. The use of color is another interesting aspect of this painting. The soft and warm tones of the Virgin's and the child's skin contrast with the vibrant colors of the background, made up of a blend of green, red, and golden hues. These intense colors create a sense of depth and richness in the work.
