Attributed to Titian (c.1488-1576) - Virgin and Child with Saints Dorothy and Jerome - 192 - Glasgow Museums Resource Centre.jpg

Madonna and Child with Saint Jerome and Saint Dorothy is a 1516 oil on canvas painting, now in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, which purchased it from the McLellan collection in 1856. [1] The Madonna's pose is based on that of Raphael's Esterhazy Madonna .

Its attribution is debated. It was previously attributed to the school of Titian, perhaps an autograph work by his brother Francesco Vecellio or by Polidoro Lanzani. [2] It was later identified as an autograph work by Titian himself due to a 1680 print by Le Fébre attributing the image to Titian, though it has now been definitively attributed to Vecellio. [3]
