A joyful scene of the adoration of the Child (with saints: John the Baptist, Francis of Assisi, Joseph and Catherine of Alexandria) is a hidden allusion to Christ’s future fate. The Child’s deep sleep may be associated with the Redeemer’s martyr death through ancient references — Sleep (Hypnos) in the Greek mythology is the brother of Death (Thanatos).

The child’s arrangement on Mary’s knees resembles the arrangement of the dead body of Christ in Pietà representations, and Mary’s white veil on which the Child is lying may be an allusion to a shroud in which Christ was entombed. The motif of the sleeping Child, which appeared in Italian art at the turn of the 16th century, was particularly popular in Venice. This is one of Lotto’s earliest paintings.
