Detail of the Madonna and Child by Francesco Granacci in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2010
Artist: Francesco Granacci (Francesco di Andrea di Marco) (Italian, Florentine, 1469–1543)

Title: Madonna and Child

Date: ca. 1520

Medium: Oil on wood

Dimensions: 34 1/8 x 25 3/8 in. (86.7 x 64.5 cm)

Classification: Paintings

Credit Line: Gift of Mario and Dianne Modestini, in memory of Theodore Rousseau, 2000

Accession Number: 2000.420

Gallery Label:
The composition of this picture seems to have been inspired from a sculpture in low relief, most likely by either Donatello or Michelangelo (Granacci had been a fellow pupil with Michelangelo in the workshop of Ghirlandaio.). However, Granacci has made the composition more pictorial by placing the figures in a light-filled room. Another version of the picture by Granacci exists and the same composition was treated by Bacchiacca (Linsky Collection, the Metropolitan Museum). The present picture dates about 1520.
