Innumerable images of the Virgin and Child were painted in the Renaissance, when Mary was the main focus of religious devotion, especially in Italy. The artist, Bernardino Bergognone, was the younger brother of one of the leading Milanese painters of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, Ambrogio Bergognone. You can make out his name in the letters around the hem of the Virgin’s mantle, where her shoe peeps out from beneath it.
