I lifted the first painting off an email I received from a Carmelite convent and they called this the Madonna and Child of the Small Trees (and note the red berries), BUT when I did a little research it turns out that the famous Madonna of the Small Trees by Giovanni Bellini is the second painting. I couldn't find who painted the top one.
Here is the Bellini painting, dated to 1487.
Here is a self-portrait of Bellini, dated around 1430. He had a long and interesting life - if interested hit the link above.
