Document source description
It was customary during the Renaissance to hang an image of the Madonna and Child in every room of a home, where they served as the focus for daily prayer and kept a watchful eye over the household. This example, both quiet and gentle, was produced in the circle of the great Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini (ca. 1430-1516) and has recently been attributed to one of that artist's followers, Alessandro Oliverio. One of the most prolific artists of Renaissance Venice, Bellini was especially renowned for his Madonna and Child compositions, which were often repeated by other artists.
