Francesco Vanni's "Madonna and Child in Glory, with Three Male Saints Below" is a detailed drawing depicting the Virgin Mary and the Christ child in the heavens surrounded by angels. Three male saints kneel in adoration below them. Vanni, a prominent Italian Mannerist artist, utilizes the strong contrasts of light and shadow, characteristic of the style, in this drawing. The work displays the artist's refined, linear style, capturing the figures with great precision. The Art Institute of Chicago holds this drawing, a preparatory study for a larger painting, providing insight into Vanni's artistic process.
