  The Pralboino Altarpiece is a 1540–1545 oil on canvas painting by Moretto da Brescia in the church of Sant'Andrea in Pralboino, Province of Brescia, Italy. The work's upper register shows the Madonna and Child with Francis of Assisi and Saint Joseph, whilst below (from left to right) are saints Jerome, Louis of Toulouse, Anthony of Padua, Clare of Assisi and the painting's commissioner, cardinal Uberto Gambara, member of a local family. It was originally in the same town's Franciscan church of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
  
  It was first recorded in the 17th century by Francesco Paglia, who described it after mentioning his Madonna and Child with Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian in the church of San Rocco, now in the parish church. It was probably moved to its present location after the first suppression of the Franciscans on 30 September 1797 - it was certainly there by 1858, when an engraving of the painting referred to it being in Sant'Andrea, as did Stefano Fenaroli's 1875 guidebook.
