LOTTO, Lorenzo: Madonna and Child with Saints

🖼 Madonna and Child with Saints, c. 1506
Oil on wood
83 × 105 cm

Soft golden light bathes the Madonna and Child in the center, flanked by saints in rich Renaissance garments rendered with meticulous detail. Lotto's intimate composition and luminous palette exemplify early 16th-century Venetian painting's spiritual warmth and humanistic approach to religious imagery.
