Madonna and Child with Saint Elizabeth and Saint John the Baptist c. 1535

Jacopino del Conte's "Madonna and Child with Saint Elizabeth and Saint John the Baptist" (c. 1535) depicts a classic Renaissance-era religious scene. The Virgin Mary, draped in a vibrant red robe, holds the Christ child, who reaches out to Saint John the Baptist, kneeling below. Saint Elizabeth, clad in green and blue, looks on. The painting's realistic details and the harmonious arrangement of figures showcase del Conte's mastery of the High Renaissance style, influenced by the works of Raphael and Michelangelo. This oil on canvas painting, measuring 161.3 x 119 cm, captures the tenderness and solemnity of the biblical encounter, a timeless theme in Western art.
