Madonna and Child with Donors or Sacred Conversation with Donors is a c. 1525 oil on panel painting by

Museo nazionale di Capodimonte in Naples.[2]

History

As well as the Madonna and Child in the centre and the unknown donors at bottom right, it also shows

Domenico Barbaja, a music and theatre impresario active in Naples between 1809 and 1840.[2] In 1841 Naples' royal family bought the work and seventeen others from the sale of Barbaja's collection, upon which it entered its present home.[2]
