Madonna and Child with Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian (Moretto)

Madonna and Child with Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian is a c.1528 oil on canvas painting on one of the side altars of the church of Sant'Andrea in Pralboino, Province of Brescia, Italy. It was originally painted for the church of San Rocco (i.e. Saint Roch) in the town, where it was seen by Francesco Paglia in 1660[1]. There is then no further mention of it in the written record until the 19th century, in studies by Carl Ransonnet in 1845 and by Stefano Fenaroli in 1875[2], which state it was by then in the church of Sant'Andrea - it had probably moved between 1782 and 1790 when the parish church was rebuilt in its present form[3].
