unspecified
From the collection of Fitzwilliam Museum
Virgin and Child with Saints is a 1508 unspecified by Marco Basaiti, depicting Holy Family, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting depicts a serene scene of the Virgin and Child surrounded by saints. The Virgin, adorned in a blue robe with a golden trim, cradles the Child in her arms. To her right stands a saint, while another saint is partially visible on the left. The background features a rocky landscape with trees and a distant village. A notable detail is the use of contrasting colors, with the Virgin's blue robe standing out against the earthy tones of the landscape. This contrast adds depth to the composition.
