The Madonna and Child with Saints Francis of Assisi and John the Baptist

This work is characteristic of the group of pictures assigned to Girolamo da Santacroce; its composition and handling can be compared to the Holy Family with an Angel in a landscape (Venice, Museo Correr). The rolling hills of the landscape recur in that and in other works, for example in Christ and the Samaritan woman at the well (Venice, Gallerie dell'Accademia).
