Madonna di Loreto (Caravaggio)
Madonna di Loreto (in Italian, Madonna dei Pellegrini or pilgrims) is a famous painting (1604-1606) by Caravaggio in the Cavalletti Chapel of the church of Sant'Agostino, near the Piazza Navona in Rome. It depicts the apparition of the barefoot virgin and naked child to two peasants on a pilgrimage; or as some say it is the quickening of the iconic statue of the Virgin.
