Giovanni Battista Cima, also known as Cima da Conegliano, was an influential Italian Renaissance painter whose works often feature serene landscapes and tranquil atmospheres, reflecting his Venetian influences and the High renaissance style.

Created on a canvas, the artwork depicts the Virgin Mary tenderly holding Jesus, set against a detailed landscape background that enhances the contemplative mood characteristic of his work.
