Patron Saints of Bologna is a 1518 by Giacomo Raibolini, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a group of saints gathered around a woman holding a picture of the Virgin Mary and Jesus. The saints are dressed in robes and hats, and some of them are holding objects like a flag or a staff. The woman in the center is wearing a simple robe and a head covering, and she is looking up at the saints with a gentle expression. In the background, there is a cityscape with buildings and towers, and the sky is filled with clouds and a sun. The painting is done in a style that is reminiscent of the Renaissance, with detailed and realistic depictions of the figures and their surroundings.
