"Virgin and Child Flanked by St John the Baptist and St Anthony Abbot" is a notable Renaissance painting by the Venetian artist Jacopo de Barbari, also known as Jacopo de' Barbari or simply as Jacopo. Created in the late 15th or early 16th century, this artwork is a significant example of the Venetian school's contribution to the religious iconography of the period. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Anthony Abbot standing on either side. This arrangement of figures is traditional in Christian art, often referred to as a sacra conversazione, which translates to 'holy conversation', although in this instance, the figures do not interact but rather seem to be meditating or in contemplation.

The composition is notable for its harmonious integration of the figures with the landscape in the background, a characteristic of the Venetian Renaissance. Jacopo de Barbari was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to render textures and surfaces with great precision. In this painting, the drapery of the garments, the serene expressions of the saints, and the tender interaction between the Virgin and Child all showcase the artist's skill.

The painting is also significant for its portrayal of Saint Anthony Abbot, who is often depicted with a pig and a bell, symbols of his patronage of animals and those suffering from skin diseases. Saint John the Baptist, traditionally shown with a reed cross and a scroll, is depicted in his role as the forerunner to Christ. The presence of these saints may reflect the devotional practices or the patron's personal piety.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is uncertain, it is generally attributed to the period when de Barbari was active in Venice, before he moved to the court of Maximilian I in Germany. The artwork is a testament to the cultural and artistic exchanges between the Italian and Northern Renaissance styles, as de Barbari was influenced by both traditions.

"Virgin and Child Flanked by St John the Baptist and St Anthony Abbot" remains an important work for the study of Renaissance art and provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the time. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Jacopo de Barbari's mastery in capturing the spiritual essence of religious subjects.
