Source Description
Images of the Madonna and Child enjoyed great popularity in the Italian Renaissance home. In this example, painted by an anonymous Florentine artist working in the 1490s, the Madonna tenderly supports the Christ Child as he stands on a ledge before her. In the lower right, an adoring angel offers a bowl of flowers; at the left, a window opens onto a hilly landscape where the hermit Saint Jerome is doing penitence before a crucifix. Farther in the distance is the Archangel Raphael with the young Tobias, commonly venerated as protectors of travelers and against disease.
