1510, Fra Bartolomeo, The Virgin Adoring the Child with Saint Joseph -- National Gallery (London)

From the museum label: Christ is lying on the Virgin's mantle resting against a bundle, which suggests the holy family's journey from Bethlehem to Egypt. The artist, a Dominican friar, worked in Florence. Christ's cousin, John the Baptist, who was the patron saint of Florence, is shown in the distance.
