# Virgin and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RAFFAELLINO DEL GARBO]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Oil on panel, diameter 87 cm ## Commentary Virgin and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist c. 1500 Oil on panel, diameter 87 cm Private collection Raffaellino's highly considered yet relatively small body of work neatly links the art of the Quattrocento with that of the High Renaissance in Florence. Conceived very much in the classical idiom prevalent in the art of Florence circa 1500, the present tondo is reminiscent not just of his teacher, Filippino Lippi, but also of Botticelli and Piero di Cosimo. The composition is clearly linked to one that originated in the Botticelli studio, and of which innumerable versions exist. However, the background landscape with Sts Jerome and Francis seen in profile and framing the composition as a whole, is unique. ## Related artworks - [Annunciation]() - [Coronation of the Virgin]() - [Portrait of a Young Man]() - [Virgin and Child Enthroned with Sts Mary Magdalene and Catherine]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
