Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist is a 1495 oil by Lorenzo di Credi, a High Renaissance work, held at Galleria Borghese.
This painting depicts the Virgin Mary sitting with two infants, Jesus and John the Baptist. The Virgin is wearing a blue robe and a white veil, while the infants are both nude. The background features a landscape with trees, a river, and mountains. A quiet detail in the painting is the way the Virgin's blue robe folds and drapes around her body, creating a sense of depth and texture. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of harmony and balance in the scene.
