Describing and Analyzing a Work of Renaissance

The picture that I chose was from Museum of Modern Art it’s a painting of Madonna and Child; Saint John the Baptist; Saint Jerome Sano di Pietro( Ansano di Pietrod, Mencio) ( Italian, Siena 1405-1481 Siena). This painting was one of many that I had looked at but for some reason it capture my attention and I just continued to focus on how well it stood out among other painting.
