"Madonna with Saints John the Baptist and Donatus" is a notable Renaissance painting created by the Italian artist Andrea del Verrocchio between 1475 and 1483. This altarpiece is significant for its representation of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, flanked by two revered saints, John the Baptist and Donatus of Arezzo. The painting is housed in the Duomo of Pistoia, Italy, and serves as a testament to Verrocchio's skill and influence in the Florentine art scene of the late 15th century.

The work is executed in tempera on panel and is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors that were typical of the period. The composition showcases the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, holding the infant Jesus, with Saint John the Baptist, the patron saint of Florence, depicted on her right, and Saint Donatus, the patron saint of Arezzo and a legendary early Christian martyr, on her left. The saints are easily identifiable by their traditional iconography: John the Baptist is often shown with a reed cross and a camel-skin garment, while Saint Donatus is depicted with the episcopal attire of a bishop and sometimes with a dragon, symbolizing the legend of his victory over a dragon.

Verrocchio's work is distinguished by its sculptural figures and the use of perspective, which adds depth to the scene. The artist's background as a goldsmith and sculptor is evident in the precise rendering of textures and the intricate details of the saints' garments and the throne. The painting also reflects the transition from the earlier International Gothic style to the more naturalistic approach of the High Renaissance.

"Madonna with Saints John the Baptist and Donatus" is an important example of Verrocchio's contribution to religious art and his influence on his contemporaries and pupils, including Leonardo da Vinci, who is believed to have trained in Verrocchio's workshop. The painting is not only a devotional image but also a reflection of the artistic and cultural values of the time, combining religious symbolism with the emerging Renaissance ideals of humanism and naturalism.
