Poldi Pezzoli Madonna Poldi Pezzoli Madonna The Poldi Pezzoli Madonna or Madonna with the Sleeping Christ Child is a tempera on canvas painting by Andrea Mantegna, dating to around 1490-1500, after the painter's trip to Rome. It was bought from Giovanni Morelli's collection by Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli shortly after the 1850s and is now in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan. It was restored in 1863 by Giuseppe Molteni, who added the varnish which has now yellowed. It belongs to a group of small-format Madonnas by the painter, produced for private devotion. As in "Madonna with Sleeping Child" (Berlin) and "Madonna and
Taller in More Ways 'Try Again'", further concluding it as "not the best album in the world or even of the year, not obscurantist schizeclecto meta-pop like Annie or M.I.A. or loaded down with po-mo pop.cult. signifiers like Girls Aloud, it doesn't impart a skewed existential narrative like Britney, but 'Taller In More Ways' is absolutely bursting with tunes, and as such it's hard to resist." The album was ranked number 23 on Observer Music Monthly's Top 100 Albums list in 2005. "Taller in More Ways" became a commercial success. On 22 October 2005, the album debuted at number one on the UK Albums
