1500 (ca.), Giovanni Bellini, Madonna of the Meadow -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: The Virgin is seated on the ground, with the Christ Child asleep in her lap. This natural pose anticipates the Virgin's lamentation over Christ's dead body. The landscape shows the farmland and fortified hills of the mainland provinces of Venice. The vulture in the tree signifies death.
