The ‘Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist’ is a tempera painting on wood executed by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli and his studio (Bartolomeo di Giovanni or Raffaelino di’Carli). The tondo painted in Florence between the years of 1490 and 1500 addresses a central theme of the Italian Renaissance art: the divine motherhood. The work is currently housed in the São Paulo Museum of Art.
