La Vierge et L'Enfant avec Saint Jean-Baptiste

Franciabigio, a Florentine painter and close collaborator of Andrea del Sarto, created this devotional saint image around 1510. The work reflects the artistic conventions and devotional culture of the High Renaissance period, when religious painting served both public worship and private contemplation across Europe. Now held at Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, it demonstrates the artist's contribution to the rich visual culture of the early sixteenth century.

The panel reflects the distinctive Emilian-Ferrarese style with its characteristic palette and refined modeling, demonstrating the artist's contribution to the rich devotional tradition of the Po Valley.
