GIULIO ROMANO
(b. ca. 1499, Roma, d. 1546, Mantova)

Virgin and Child with the Infant St John

c. 1523
Oil on wood, 126 x 85 cm
Galleria Borghese, Rome

The composition is derived from a drawing by Raphael. The attribution to Giulio Romano is controversial due to an 18th-century inscription on the back of the panel which refers to Giovan Francesco Penni, another collaborator of Raphael.
