Madonna and Child with Saints Anne and John. The Virgin and Child with Saints Anne and John the Baptist are presented in an intimate group in the foreground of this painting. The artist has set the group against a dark background. By using different tones, he effectively illuminated the figures to focus the viewer's attention on them. This use of lighting, along with the intimate portrayal of the group, would have been intended to inspire the viewer's devotion.
