Madonna with Child and St Anthony1540-45Oil on panel, 46 x 58 cm Liechtenstein Museum, Vienna | |
This painting, probably executed for private devotion, is an example of a type popular in the Renaissance: landscape format with half-length figures of saints with the Virgin. It developed from Giovanni Bellini's panels into Titian's dialogue-like scenes, the type Moretto was following here. |
