Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saint Peter Martyr and Two Warrior Saints is a 1706 oil by Francesco Solimena, a High Baroque Italian work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting depicts a regal scene with the Madonna and Child seated on a throne, surrounded by four male figures. The Madonna wears a blue robe over a red dress, while the Child is naked except for a white cloth. The men are dressed in various attire, including armor and a black robe with a white collar. In the background, there are clouds and a figure holding a halo above the Madonna's head. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of reverence and devotion. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Francesco Solimena.
Francesco Solimena (4 October 1657 – 3 April 1747) was a prolific Italian Baroque painter, one of an established family of painters and draughtsmen.
