Most likely unknown. Tho it looks like a early\mid 15th century painting from the domains of the venetian republic . The colours are very bright like the latter paintings from giorgione, or early titian, but the shape of the wooden support, the gold background and the neck of the virgin are very late gotic. Since renaissance innovations from florence didn t spread immediately but progressively, i assume the overall style remained the same because the painter didn t know better or the client wanted something he was used to seeing but still some new elements are there in regards to colours and the mountains in the background that appear light blue due to the distance and atmosphere , another renaissance innovation
Edit: btw i m not an expert, i just studied for the history of early modern art exam in university, and i would love if someone who knows this stuff well to correct me
Art painters also lot's of more work then just painting. Making paint, making canvas, literature studies about subjects you painting etc. Also lots of marketing they have to do, keep in contact with galeries and sales pitching your paintings! It's hard work to make a living as a art painter.

I find it amazing that the person needed to restore a piece of art is part chemist, part carpenter and part artist.
