London Altarpiece

The London Altarpiece or The Madonna and Child with Saints is a oil on canvas painting by Moretto da Brescia, executed "c." 1540, now in the National Gallery, London.
Its original provenance is unknown, though it was probably painted for a church outside the Brescian context. It was probably for a Franciscan church, given the presence of three Franciscan saints (Francis of Assisi and Saint Bernardino in the lower register and Saint Clare in the upper register). Also in the upper register are Catherine of Alexandria and the Madonna and Child, whilst below (from left to right) are Jerome, Joseph, Bernardino, Francis and Nicholas of Bari.
