Tiziano Vecellio, an Italian artist more commonly known as Titian, was born in 1488 and lived until 1576. The Madonna and Child with a Female Saint and the Infant Saint John the Baptist is a work created by Titian in the 1530s.

Painted in the 16th century, The Madonna and Child with a Female Saint and the Infant Saint John the Baptist but since 1986 finds its home at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. The canvas is a horizontal painting of holy figures in a pastoral landscape.

Titian placed the figures in a pyramidal structure around the Christ Child so that one’s eye focuses on the Christ Child. In addition, although Saint John the Baptist is not physically in contact with the other three figures, his strong exchange glance at the child brings him together. Work seems balanced since the Virgin Mary, the female saint and Saint John the Baptist all look toward the Christ Child. In this painting, Tiziano Vecellio uses the formal elements of space, color, light and dark, and figure style to create a…
