The table is the only testimony of the Piedmontese Renaissance still preserved in the Royal Palace. Conceived as an altarpiece, in the nineteenth century it was donated by canon Giuseppe Benedetto Cottolengo to Carlo Alberto and placed in the king's bedroom, where it is still exhibited today. The work is dated 1523 and documents the style of the Chivasso painter, suspended between the Gothic character derived from the art of the Alps and the influence of Lombard naturalism. The Madonna sits on a throne covered with a medieval-style gilding and holds the Child in her arms, depicted with the Globe with the cross, symbol of redemption. On the sides, the standing figures are the saints John the Baptist and Nazario. Below left, the kneeling man is the commissioner of the work, with the cloak adorned with fur and the cross of the order of Malta to identify his social prestige. The figures appear devoid of connection between them, joined only by the classical canopy that delimits the space of the scene.
