The Madonna Litta was made in 1490-1491 and is of the Madonna nursing the infant Jesus which is generally attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and is displayed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg Russia.There are numerous replicas of the work by other Renaissance painters and Leonardo’s own preliminary sketch of Madonna’s head in the Louvre. The Child’s awkward posture however led some scholars to attribute parts of the painting to Leonardo’s pupil Boltraffio.
