Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist 1570 - 1573

"Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist," painted by Santi di Tito between 1570 and 1573, showcases the artist's mastery of Renaissance style. The composition centers on the Virgin Mary, seated with the Christ child and the infant Saint John the Baptist, who holds a lamb, symbolizing Christ's sacrifice. This oil painting, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, uses rich colors and meticulous detail to create a devotional image, embodying the themes of faith and divine grace.
