Virgin and Child with Saints John the Baptist, Mary Magdalen and George is a 1524 oil by Paris Bordone, a Mannerism work, depicting Holy Family, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
This painting depicts a serene scene with the Virgin Mary holding a baby, surrounded by three other figures. To her left is a woman in a blue dress, while to her right stands a man in armor, holding a spear. On the far left, a man is kneeling, wearing an orange cloth around his waist and holding a small jug. The background features a landscape with trees and buildings. The figures are arranged in a harmonious composition, with the Virgin and Child at the center. The use of color and light creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye through the scene.
