Madonna with saints St. John theBaptist, St. Gregory I the Great, St. Benedict 1506

Andrea Mantegna's "Madonna with Saints St. John the Baptist, St. Gregory I the Great, St. Benedict," painted in 1506, portrays the Virgin Mary enthroned with the Christ Child, surrounded by a multitude of cherubic heads, and flanked by four saints. The saints, all clad in rich, brightly colored robes, stand before a backdrop of two flowering trees, while a landscape of rolling hills and a distant cityscape can be seen in the background. The painting exemplifies Mantegna's signature style, characterized by precise linear perspective and meticulous detail.
