Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist

"Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist," attributed to Bernardino Luini, is a notable example of Lombard Renaissance painting, created in the early 16th century. The work reflects Luini's mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey tenderness and intimacy, significantly influencing the depiction of religious subjects in subsequent Italian art.

"Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist," attributed to Bernardino Luini, features the Virgin Mary in a serene pose, cradling the Christ Child, who reaches towards the viewer with an expression of innocence. The composition is characterized by its soft color palette, delicate rendering of figures, and the use of chiaroscuro to enhance the three-dimensionality of the subjects, set against a subtly detailed landscape background.
