Madonna with a Bishop and St. Onuphrius 1508

"Madonna with a Bishop and St. Onuphrius," painted in 1508 by Lorenzo Lotto, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, flanked by a Bishop and the hermit St. Onuphrius. This small, intimate artwork exemplifies Lotto's mastery of color and detail, showcasing the artist's signature use of vibrant hues against a dark background. The painting, now housed in Rome's Borghese Gallery, is a fine example of High Renaissance religious art, with its focus on the sacred and the divine.
