From Museo del Prado, Madrid:
This is a reduced and simplified version of the Virgin and Child between Saint Nicasio and Saint Francis that Giorgione painted for the Duomo di Castelfranco around 1505. From that work Titian drew the symmetrical and pyramidal arrangement of the figures, the setting of the scene in front of a landscape, the inclusion of an architectural structure and the backdrop behind the Virgin. The latter’s physiognomy and the soft, sfumato surfaces are also derived from Giorgione, but he was not Titian’s only source of inspiration.
