Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist

probably late 1490s
Not on view
A sharpness of light and hard, almost marble-like surfaces are characteristic of Michele da Verona's work. This is one of the few paintings that can be ascribed to him with confidence. The landscape background is reminiscent of the hills outside Verona.
