Madonna and Child (Cima, private collection) explained

Madonna and Child is a 1504 oil on panel painting by Cima da Conegliano, now in a private collection. It was last sold at Christie's in London on 25 November 1966 as part of a sale of works from Sir Herbert Cook's collection^[1] and is therefore sometimes known as the Cook Madonna, not to be confused with another painting of that name by Crivelli now known to be the central panel of the Porto San Giorgio Altarpiece.
