The Virgin and Child with Saint Stephen, Saint Jerome and Saint Maurice (French: La Vierge à l' Enfant avec saint Étienne, saint Jérôme et saint Maurice), also called the Virgin with Three Saints, is a religious painting by Titian which hangs in the Louvre in Paris.[1]
History[edit]
The Virgin is worshipped by the saints Stephen, Jerome, and George.[2] Gronau thinks this picture may belong to the period about 1508 to 1510.[2] The Louvre dates it to between 1510 and 1525.[1] The type of the Virgin here is like the one in the Madrid Santa Conversazione and the Annunciation, Treviso.[3] Compare the Saint Stephen with the servant's head in the Salome picture of the Doria Gallery.[4] A type like the Saint Jerome is to be found in one of the Padua frescoes.[3]
The picture entered the Louvre from the collection of Louis XIV.[3]
