Madonna and Child with Saints

Not on view
A contemporary of Titian and Palma il Vecchio, Bonifacio Veronese acquired a considerable reputation in Venice as a painter of compositions of the Madonna and Child—at once grand and informal. The saints in this fine example are, left to right, Elizabeth and Zaccharia with their son, John the Baptist, followed by Joseph, and Catherine of Alexandria.
