Christ and the Virgin Mary Interceding for Humanity

Christ and the Virgin Mary Interceding for Humanity is a c.1490 oil and tempera on panel painting by Gherardo di Giovanni del Fora, a painter from the entourage of Domenico Ghirlandaio. It is now in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, which bought it using a legacy from the John W Tempest foundation.[1] In the foreground is a saint, probably Bernard of Clairvaux (the Virgin's breast recalls The Lactation of St Bernard).
