The Bolognini Madonna is an oil on panel painting (later transferred to canvas) by Antonio da Correggio.
History
It is dated to around 1514–1519,[1] sometime between his Madonna and Child with St Francis (1514–1515) and his lost Albinea Madonna (1517–1519).[2] It has been attributed to Correggio since the late 19th century.[3] In 1865 it was left by Gian Giacomo Attendolo Bolognini to the Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco in Milan, where it now hangs.[4] It is compositionally related to the artist's Madonna and Child with the Infant John the Baptist.
