Madonna and Child with Saints 1515 - 1525

"Madonna and Child with Saints," painted by Girolamo dai Libri between 1515 and 1525, showcases the artist's signature detail and Renaissance style. This altarpiece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features the Virgin Mary, the Christ child, and a variety of saints in a lush landscape setting. The presence of a peacock perched on a tree in the background further enhances the symbolic richness of the composition, suggesting immortality and the divine. This artwork is a testament to Libri's skill in depicting both religious themes and natural beauty, reflecting the artistic trends of early 16th-century Italy.
