Document source description
Against an open sky and distant cityscape the Madonna, wearing an elaborately embroidered mantle, tenderly holds the Christ Child on her lap. The Christ Child reaches toward his mother’s face as the elderly Saint Joseph, Mary’s husband, looks on from behind. A cherubim (from a rank of angels so close to God that they are nearly disembodied) appears from a cloud above. Certainly intended for a domestic interior, the poses of the Madonna and Child are borrowed from a famous composition by the Venetian artist Cima da Conegliano (1459-1517). The execution, however, cannot be attributed to Cima or his workshop, and the painting is likely by a later follower.
