1600 (ca.), Annibale Carracci, The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist ("The Montalto Madonna") -- National Gallery (London)

From the museum label: Known as 'The Montalto Madonna' after its patron, Cardinal Alessandro Peretti Montalto, this small painting on copper was one of Carracci's most famous and most copied works. The influence of Correggio is evident in the rich balance of colour, the play of light and the figures' harmonious movements.
