Madonna and Child with Three Saints (Titian)

Madonna and Child with Three Saints or Adoration of the Christ Child with Saints is a c.1519 oil on canvas painting by Titian, now in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich..[1] From left to right the adoring saints are Francis of Assisi, Jerome and Anthony Abbot.[2]

Carlo Ridolfi praised the work after seeing it in the collection of paintings Jacopo Casciopino brought to Antwerp in the 17th century. Previously misattributed to Titian's elder brother Francesco Vecellio[1] or Titian's studio, it was reidentified as an autograph work by Titian himself in 1951, though its owner's online catalogue retains the traditional attribution to Francesco Veccellio.[1] It is dated via its stylistic similarities to the Gozzi Altarpiece.[1]
