This print showcases the masterpiece "Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints Mary Magdalen and John the Baptist" by Giuliano Bugiardini. Painted around 1523, this oil on wood artwork measures an impressive 193.7x165.7 cm and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The painting exudes a sense of divine serenity as these sacred figures come together.
