DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
The Madonna and Child with Saints is an altarpiece by the Florentine painter Jacopo Zucchi, a leading exponent of Roman Mannerism and a collaborator of Giorgio Vasari.
The work is housed in the solemn Basilica of San Francesco in Siena, where it is part of one of six large monumental altarpieces housed in the church.
The painting is typical of Zucchi's late Mannerist style, characterized by a refined pictorial treatment of the drapery, a complex composition of the figures, and a strong influence from the Tuscan-Roman school.
Among the saints depicted at the Virgin's feet, the characteristic depiction of the Lion of Saint Jerome stands out, one of the painting's most famous and photographed iconographic details.
