Virgin and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist, Attended by Angels

In this panel influence of Leonardo clearly visible in the figure and compositional types. The style of the present work is entirely consistent with other paintings produced by Llanos during his stay in Murcia from 1514-16, by which date his collaboration with Fernando Yañez had come to an end and both painters had begun to develop their own divergent styles. Often to be found in works of this date is the repetition of a motif or type found in the great altarpiece in Valencia and in this sense the present work is no exception; the pose and drapery of the upper half of the Virgin echoes that in the Rest on the Flight into Egypt.
