Madonna and Child with St. Catherine and the Rabbit by Titian Vecellio

Madonna and Child with St. Catherine and the Rabbit by Titian Vecellio

In 1529 Federico Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua ordered three more works by Titian.

At this time, Titian is at the zenith of fame. Many art historians note that this picture marked the transition of Titian from youth to maturity.

With a solemn look, Madonna holds a rabbit, a symbol of fertility, so that the child can go down and play with him

Beautiful, and probably the most striking example of the work of Titian, where the traditions of painting from the Holy Scripture and the Pastoral genre are so successfully combined.
