## Commentary

The Madonna and Child in the Berenson Collection in Florence is also similarly related to Florentine painting of the 1430s; for this reason it is normally dated at around the same period as the Carnesecchi Tabernacle. The gentle image of the Virgin is placed against a reddish brocade backdrop, creating a very elegant and courtly mood; she offers a flower to the plump little Child. Here, too, the lighting contributes peaceful intimacy to the scene.
