Benozzo Gozzoli's "Madonna and Child with St. Francis and the donor Fra Jacopo da Montefalco (left) and St. Bernardino of Siena (right)" is a 1452 painting that features the Virgin Mary and her child flanked by two saints, Saint Francis and Saint Bernardino. The painting is a devotional work likely commissioned by the donor, Fra Jacopo da Montefalco, who is also depicted kneeling in prayer before the Virgin and Child. Gozzoli's meticulous attention to detail and use of rich color creates a sense of depth and realism. This work is typical of the Early Renaissance style, with its focus on naturalism and perspective. It is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
