Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) was a prominent Florentine Renaissance painter known for his graceful figures and mythological themes. His iconic works include “The Birth of Venus” and “Primavera”, showcasing elegant lines and a distinctive style that defined early Renaissance art.
This tondo painting, executed by the Workshop of Sandro Botticelli around 1490–95, depicts the Madonna and Child with the young St John.
The composition features the Virgin in the relatively uncommon stance of the Madonna del latte (nursing the Christ Child), with the young St John the Baptist present. Although a workshop piece, it is considered fine and delicate, likely based on a design by Botticelli himself, characteristic of his late 15th-century style. The figures, noted for their clarity and precision, are set against a background featuring an open landscape visible through a window.
