Balbi Holy Conversation
Balbi Holy Conversation (, also known as Titian Madonna and Child with Sts Catherine and Dominic and a Donor) is an oil painting by the Italian late Renaissance painter Titian, dated to around 1513, and now held at the Fondazione Magnani-Rocca in Traversetolo, near Parma, northern Italy.
The work was originally part of marquess Balbi's collection at Genoa, hence the name. It is a work from the artist's youth, set in an open landscape, with some Giorgione influences but already
is very similar to that in the "Balbi Holy Conversation" and a series of portraits of wavy-haired blonde women such as the "Woman at the Mirror", "Flora", the "Vanity", "Salome" and the "Young Woman with Black Dress".
