LLANOS, Fernando
(active 1506-1516 in Valencia)

Virgin and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist

c. 1505
Oil on panel, 46 x 33 cm
Private collection

This painting clearly shows the influence of Leonardo da Vinci. Llanos was deeply influenced by his trip to Italy and was instrumental in the introduction of the Italian Renaissance to Spain. A date of execution of the painting c. 1505 seems probable, when the artist was still in Italy.
