SANTI DI TITO. Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist

SANTI DI TITO (1536-1603)

Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist

Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist. Artist: Santi di Tito (Italian, Sansepolcro 1536-1603 Florence). Dimensions: 40 7/8 x 33 3/4 in. (103.8 x 85.7 cm). Date: early 1570s. Santi di Tito's work was exceptional in the latter half of the sixteenth century in Florence for its shift towards naturalism and away from the artificiality of much Mannerist painting. This panel was probably painted in the 1570s, and recalls the work of earlier artists such as Raphael and Andrea del Sarto, but with a new immediacy and painterly quality. The exceptionally fine frame is of the same period.
