About This Work
The Madonna is shown seated in a landscape, supporting the Christ child who reaches out toward the infant Saint John the Baptist. In the background, rolling hills lead to a distant mountain and the distinct architectural ruins of the Roman Forum. This image is presented as a Nicaraguan postage stamp commemorating the 500th anniversary of the artist's birth.
