Virgin And Child With Saint John The Baptist, c1490.

John would later speak these words to his followers when introducing Jesus, prophesying Christ's fate as an innocent lamb sacrificed to redeem humankind from its sins. The scene is painted as a tondo, a circular format often used for devotional pictures intended for domestic settings in fifteenth-century Florence. Sandro Botticelli and Studio

EDITORS COMMENTS
**Tender Devotion: Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptist (c.1490)**
In this exquisite tondo, a masterpiece of Renaissance art, the Virgin Mary tenderly cradles her infant son Jesus while young Saint John the Baptist kneels in devout prayer. The scene is set against a golden background, where delicate lines and subtle shading evoke a sense of intimacy and reverence.
The inscription on St. John's scroll reads "Behold the Lamb of God," prophesying Christ's fate as an innocent lamb sacrificed to redeem humanity from its sins. This poignant moment captures the tender bond between mother and child, while also highlighting the significance of Jesus' life and mission.
Painted by Sandro Botticelli or his workshop in 15th-century Florence, this devotional picture was intended for domestic settings, where it would serve as a reminder of faith and devotion. The circular format adds to its sense of unity and harmony, drawing the viewer's eye into the heartwarming scene before them.
This stunning print is a testament to Botticelli's mastery of color, composition, and emotional depth. It stands as a powerful representation of Christian iconography, inviting us to reflect on the enduring themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption that underpin human experience.
