Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist, about 1630-1632. Creator: Giovanni Lanfranco

Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist, about 1630-1632.

Additional Info: While the Madonna tenderly caresses her son, the two children extend their arms toward each other, expressing both familial and divine love. The goldfinch held carelessly in the Christ Child's left hand can be interpreted as a prefiguration of the Passion. According to legend, as Christ was led to die on Calvary, a goldfinch flew down and plucked a thorn from his bleeding skin splashing itself with his blood in the process, thus acquiring its characteristic spot of red on its plumage
