Madonna and Child with St John the Baptist and St Catherine of Alexandria is a c.1495 oil on panel painting by Perugino of the Madonna and Child with John the Baptist and Catherine of Alexandria. It is now in the Louvre in Paris. [1] [2]
It was produced using the same cartoon as Madonna and Child with Two Saints ( Kunsthistorisches Museum) and Madonna and Child with the Infant John the Baptist ( Städel Museum), with very little variation between the three works. The face of the Madonna is based on Perugino's wife Chiara Fancelli
