Adoration of the Child 1499

Fra Bartolomeo’s “Adoration of the Child” (1499) depicts the Holy Family in a picturesque landscape. The figures are rendered with a calm, almost solemn demeanor, typical of the High Renaissance style. The composition is balanced and harmonious, emphasizing the sacredness of the moment. The artwork is housed in the Borghese Gallery in Rome, a testament to the artist's influence on the Italian Renaissance. The painting, executed in oil on wood, measures 89 x 89 cm and is a masterpiece of devotional art, reflecting the artist’s deep religious devotion.
