Virgin and Child in a Landscape with the Child Baptist and Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a 1545 oil by Girolamo da Carpi, a Mannerism work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting shows a serene scene of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child in a lush landscape. The Virgin is seated, cradling the child in her lap, while Saint Catherine of Alexandria stands beside them, gently touching the child's hand. In the background, a distant landscape unfolds, with rolling hills and a cloudy sky. A quiet detail is the gentle interaction between the figures, conveying a sense of warmth and intimacy. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and harmony in the scene. To learn more about the artist behind this work, explore the art of Girolamo da Carpi.
