Madonna and Child with the Infant John the Baptist

In a composition in the style of Raphael, this tablet presents the Virgin sitting in a meadow with the Child on her knee and the infant John the Baptist, both holding the cross. The very high quality of the painting, which glows with touches of gold and red glaze, reveals the hand of one of most important Renaissance majolica painters, Nicola di Gabriele Sbraghe, known as Nicola da Urbino.
