Madonna and Child with Saints, Francesco da Cotignola

This grouping of the virgin and child with saints (mary magdalene, jerome, an unidentified saint, and sebastian) is known as a "sacra conversazione" (sacred conversation). Even though the figures are outdoors, a brocade drapery hangs down behind mary and jesus to mark their status as king and queen of heaven. The lamb of god held by christ is a symbol of his future sacrifice. This type of horizontal composition with half-length figures before a tranquil landscape was popular in northern italian painting. Object Type: painting. Genre: religious art. Date: between circa 1510 and circa 1515 (Renaissance). Place of creation: Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Dimensions: Painted surface: height: 28.3 in (72 cm); width: 39.5 in (100.4 cm); depth: 0.2 in (6,350 μm) (excluding cradle). Medium: oil on panel. Depicted People: Virgin Mary, Christ Child, Mary Magdalene, Jerome, Saint Sebastian. Collection: Walters Art Museum. Francesco di Bosio Zaganelli - Madonna and Child with Saints - Walters 37581
