Madonna and Child with Saint Jerome and Saint John the Baptist c. 1492 - 1495

Cima da Conegliano's "Madonna and Child with Saint Jerome and Saint John the Baptist" (c. 1492-1495) depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ child while Saint Jerome and Saint John the Baptist kneel in adoration on either side. The figures are set against a verdant landscape, characterized by a distant castle and rolling hills, showcasing Cima's mastery of atmospheric perspective. The soft, luminous light bathing the scene adds to the sense of serenity and reverence, typical of Venetian Renaissance painting. This artwork is a testament to Cima's ability to capture the divine grace of the Virgin Mary and the spiritual devotion of the saints.
