Madonna of the TowersBramantino

125
This tempera and oil painting (1515–20) presents the Madonna and Child enthroned between Saint Ambrose and Saint Michael. Set before fortified towers symbolizing Marian protection, the composition reflects Leonardo’s influence in its symmetry and restraint. Below, a toad representing the Devil lies defeated, underscoring the Virgin’s triumph over evil.
