Castelfranco Madonna
The Madonna and Child Between St. Francis and St. Nicasius, also known as Castelfranco Madonna, is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Giorgione executed around 1504. It remains in the equivalent of its original setting, in a side-chapel of the Cathedral of Castelfranco Veneto, Giorgione's native city, in Veneto, northern Italy, although the present church dates to the 18th century.
The picture has all the elements of a typical "sacra conversazione", with the Madonna enthroned with the child, with
ardent, glowing, and melting intensity which was so soon to typify the work of all the Venetian School.
