## Commentary

This youthful work by Bartolomeo Veneto represents the Madonna and Child, seated behind a ledge, a river landscape and a town beyond. It is based on a design by the artist&#39;s master, Giovanni Bellini, painted circa 1490 for the sacristy of Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome. Bellini&#39;s original is now lost but is known through the copies and reimagined variations of his disciples.
