1506, Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino), The Madonna of the Meadow -- Kunsthistorisches Museum (Vienna)

From the museum label: The group formed into a pyramid is embedded in a delightful pasture landscape which on the one hand emphasises the world of humans; yet in the way it fades out into the far-off horizon, it appears to accentuate what is eternally valid. Thus The Madonna in the Meadow became the "icon" of the new spiritual thinking of the Renaissance.
