The Virgin and Blessing Child Enthroned with Sts. John, Augustine, Dominic, Peter and Victims of the bethemitic Child Murder is a 1475 paint by Cosimo Rosselli, a Early Renaissance work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting shows a group of people in a formal setting. In the center, a woman sits on a throne, holding a baby. She's surrounded by men in robes, some of whom are holding books or other objects.
