The Madonna with Writing Child and Bishop is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Pinturicchio painted around 1495 and housed in the Museu de Belles Arts of Valencia Spain.The work was painted in Rome when Pinturicchio was the favorite painter of Pope Alexander VI. The pope’s cousin and treasure Francisco Borgia commissioned him a work to send to the family’s chapel in the Collegiate of Xàtiva in Spain perhaps to celebrated his appointment as bishop of Teano (1495).
