The Madonna with Child (Salting Madonna) is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Antonello da Messina. It is housed in the National Gallery London. The name Salting derives from George Salting the collector who donated it to the gallery in 1910.The Salting Madonna shows a complex series of cultural references which have led in past time scholars to classify it variously as a Flemish Spanish or even Russian work.
