Madonna and Child (c. 1504) by Cima da Conegliano
Its attribution has been criticised in the past, though Bernard Berenson takes an intermediate position in stating it is a youthful work by the artist and Heinemann argues that the figures but not the landscape are autograph. Restorations in 1984 and 2010 have led to its definitive attribution to Cima de Conegliano. Its dating is based on its similarity to another Madonna by the artist in the Museo Nazionale Atestino, though the latter shows the Christ Child squeezing his mother's left thumb.[2]
