The sculptural group Madonna with Child and Saint John the Baptist as a Child was executed by Sebastiano Mariani, known as Sebastiano da Lugano.
The figures are housed within a niche, with the Madonna seated on a throne, her face veiled and crowned with a diadem; she wears a lightly draped gown and holds the Christ Child, whose gaze turns toward the young Saint John.
Saint John the Baptist as a Child is he who proclaimed the coming of the Messiah and baptized him.
Now go forward to the left and see the tomb.
