Answer 2

ANSWER:

(D) Mary and child

EXPLANATION:

Lorenzo di Credi shows that there is  an angel who introduced the baby John the Baptist, a patron saint of Florence, to his newborn cousin, Jesus, who is adored by his mother. The soft, diffused light in the picture is inspired by the work of the Netherlandish painter Hans Memling, it creates a mood of “gentle pietistic reverie”.
