Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints is a 1496–1498 oil painting by Cima da Conegliano, originally painted on panel but later transferred to canvas.[1] It is also known as the Dragan Altarpiece after Giorgio Dragan, a shipowner who commissioned it for his personal altar in the church of Santa Maria della Carità in Venice.[1] To the left of the throne is a female saint (possibly Catherine of Alexandria), George and Nicholas, whilst to the right are Anthony Abbot, Sebastian and another female saint (probably Lucy).[1]
It was acquired by the state in 1812 when that church was suppressed and converted into the main section of the Gallerie dell'Accademia, in Venice, where it still hangs.[1]
