An other source describes this painting as "madonna con bambino e san giovannino" of a raffaello del colle (1490-1566) from the year 1566. For guilio romano which also was called "guilio pippi" are speaking the poses of the both children and the circumstance, that the architectonical backgroud was fivefold overpainted and indicates to the "forum traiano" in rome. Guilo romano (1499-1546) was a master (painter and architect) of the italian mannerism. Together with an other painter with name perani overtook guilio romano the atelier of a raffaelo after the death of raffaelo in 1520 and finished all remained works which were still not completed.
