Madonna and Child with Saints Jerome and Francis 1495 - 1505

This anonymous Italian painting from the late 15th or early 16th century depicts the Madonna and Child with Saints Jerome and Francis. The composition follows the traditional Renaissance style, with the Virgin Mary and Child at the center, flanked by the two saints. The painting demonstrates the artist's skillful portrayal of detail and the nuanced use of light and shadow. The work is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it can be viewed by art enthusiasts seeking an example of early Italian Renaissance religious art.
