The Virgin and Child Between Saints Anthony of Padua and Roch is an oil painting on canvas of c. 1508 by Titian,[1] originally given to Philip IV of Spain by his viceroy of Naples, Ramiro Núñez de Guzmán, and now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.[2]

In 1657 it was recorded in the sacristy of the Escorial Monastery, where it was misattributed to "Bordonon", perhaps a misspelling of Paris Bordone. Later reattributed to Giorgione, Pordenone and then Francesco Vecellio, it was finally returned to its correct attribution by most critics due to its composition and symmetry.[3]
