"Virgin and Child with Sts John the Baptist and Sebastian" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio. Boltraffio, a notable pupil of Leonardo da Vinci, was active during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. This artwork exemplifies the influence of Leonardo on Boltraffio, particularly in the delicate rendering of figures and the use of chiaroscuro to create depth and volume.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, flanked by St. John the Baptist and St. Sebastian. The composition is harmonious, with the figures arranged in a balanced manner that guides the viewer's eye across the scene. The Virgin is portrayed with a serene expression, embodying grace and maternal tenderness, while the Christ Child reaches out, engaging with the surrounding figures.

St. John the Baptist, identifiable by his traditional attributes such as the camel-hair garment, is depicted with a contemplative gaze, symbolizing his role as the forerunner of Christ. St. Sebastian, often shown as a martyr tied to a tree and pierced with arrows, is presented here in a more serene and less dramatic manner, emphasizing his role as a protector against the plague.

The painting is noted for its refined detail and the soft, sfumato technique that Boltraffio adopted from Leonardo. The use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures, creating a lifelike presence. The background, though less detailed, provides a subtle landscape that complements the figures without distracting from them.

Currently housed in the Louvre Museum, this work is an excellent example of Boltraffio's skill and his ability to blend his master's influence with his own artistic vision. It reflects the transition from the High Renaissance style to a more personal interpretation of religious themes, characteristic of Boltraffio's oeuvre.
