Madonna and Child with Two Angels

Artist	Sandro Botticelli
Year	1468–1469
Medium	Tempera on panel
Dimensions	100 cm × 71 cm (39 in × 28 in)
Location	Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples

The work was once attributed to Filippino Lippi, master of Botticelli. The composition essentially derives from Botticelli's master (and Filippino Lippi's father) Filippo Lippi.[2] The faces and other details suggest around the same period of the Fortitude and the other juvenile Madonnas of the Italian painter. The composition is similar to Verrocchio's Madonna of the Milk, probably dating to a year or two earlier.
