Madonna and Child with St. Catherine and a Rabbit 1530

"Madonna and Child with St. Catherine and a Rabbit" (c. 1530) by Titian is a depiction of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus, with St. Catherine of Alexandria beside her. The painting, now in the Louvre Museum in Paris, showcases Titian's mastery of color and light, with the warm tones of the figures contrasting with the cool landscape in the background. Notably, the inclusion of a white rabbit, often symbolizing purity and innocence, adds a touch of whimsy to the sacred scene. This masterpiece exemplifies Titian's renowned Venetian style, known for its rich, vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail.
