"Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints Apollonia, Mark, a Bishop Saint, Jerome, Benedict, and Anthony of Padua" is a notable altarpiece painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Mariotto di Nardo. Created in the early 15th century, this artwork exemplifies the religious and artistic sensibilities of the period, showcasing a rich interplay of devotional iconography and stylistic elements characteristic of the Florentine School.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, holding the Christ Child, surrounded by a cohort of saints who were venerated during the time. Each saint is identifiable through their iconographic attributes: Saint Apollonia, the patroness of dentists, is often shown with pincers holding a tooth; Saint Mark, one of the four evangelists, is depicted with a book or a lion; a bishop saint, possibly representing a local or revered church figure, is clad in episcopal vestments; Saint Jerome, known for translating the Bible into Latin, is frequently portrayed with a lion or a cardinal's hat; Saint Benedict, the founder of Western monasticism, is recognized by the Rule of Saint Benedict or a raven; and Saint Anthony of Padua, a preacher and theologian, is often depicted with a lily or the Christ Child.

Mariotto di Nardo, active from 1394 to 1424, was a Florentine painter whose work is marked by the influence of his contemporaries and predecessors, such as Lorenzo Monaco and Agnolo Gaddi. His paintings are characterized by their vivid color palette, delicate attention to detail, and the serene, yet expressive, faces of the figures he portrayed.

"Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints Apollonia, Mark, a Bishop Saint, Jerome, Benedict, and Anthony of Padua" serves as an important example of the devotional art of the early Renaissance, reflecting both the religious fervor and the artistic innovation of the time. The painting is significant for its representation of the saints, its demonstration of Mariotto di Nardo's artistic skills, and its contribution to the understanding of the period's religious culture and artistic heritage.
