## Commentary

Madonna and Child c. 1604 Oil on canvas, 131 x 91 cm Galleria Nazionale d&#39;Arte Antica, Rome In around 1604, Gentileschi painted this Madonna that so captures Caravaggio&#39;s genius for finding the sacred story in the lives of real persons that for centuries it was assigned to the master himself. &lt;p&gt; &lt;table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor=&#34;\#99cccc&#34;&gt; &lt;tr valign=middle&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; border=0 valign=middle&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 6 minutes\):&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/schubert/schubert\_liszt\_ave\_maria.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Franz Schubert: Ave Maria \(Hail, Mary\), Franz Liszt&#39;s transcription&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
