What’s the name of this painting in English? In German? I’ve tried finding information about this particular painting on the Web… but so far… no luck… Does anyone know which museum houses the painting? Thankful for all info! Thanks in advance!

Just about the whereabouts


Explanation:
La Madonna del Pannolino di Bernardino Luini
di proprietà dell'Opera Pia Sabbadini,
ora in deposito al Museo Diocesano d'Arte sacra di Udine

E' familiarmente denominata la Madonna del pannolino, per via del panno che un angioletto sta stendendo sul ripiano ove la Madonna si accinge a deporre il Bambino. Malgrado i non felici ritocchi apportati da Arturo Collavini, pittore restauratore e copista, si presenta come lavoro di considerevole livello qualitativo, piacevole sia nella composizione giocata sul rapporto tra primi e secondi piani, sia nella trattazione delle singole figure dai volti dolci e dalle espressioni intense, sia nel delicati passaggi chiaroscurali. E' la replica di un dipinto su tavola di Bernardino Luini che si conserva al Louvre sotto il titolo de Il sonno del Bambino Gesù e che viene generalmente datato agli anni che seguono l'impegnativo ciclo d'affreschi del Santuario della Beata Vergine dei Miracoli a Saronno eseguito nel 1525. Il quadro di Parigi, che faceva parte delle collezioni reali di Luigi XIV, il Re Sole, è servito da modello per una copia conservata nella Cappella della Madonna di Loreto a Chiusa di Bressanone (Klausen), che la Ottino Dalla Chiesa giudica "diligente ma tarda, sporca, consunta e corrosa profondamente lungo tutto il perimetro". La replica di Pozzuolo, sconosciuta in ambito nazionale, induce a ben diverso giudizio

The Virgin Carrying the Sleeping Child with Three Angels


Explanation:


Sounds like it's the one exhibited at the Louvre (you can go to the first site below to see it).
LUINI Bernardino:
Luino, 1480-1490 ; Milan (?), 1532
Ecole Italie
Domaine Peinture
Type d'objet tableau
LE SOMMEIL DE L'ENFANT JESUS ; OU LA VIERGE TENANT L'ENFANT ENDORMI, ACCOMPAGNEE DE TROIS ANGES
Représentation figures bibliques (Vierge à l'Enfant, à mi-corps, ange) ; Enfant Jésus (sommeil)
Datation 1ère moitié 16e siècle
Matériaux / Technique peinture à l'huile ; toile
Dimensions 92.5 H ; 73.5 L
Lieu de conservation Paris ; musée du Louvre

If you compare this picture with the one from the second site, you'll find they're the same. And they're the only works of Luini with a sleeping Christ child.

LA NATIVITE DE JESUS ET L'ANNONCE AUX BERGERS


Explanation:
Peinture
LA NATIVITE DE JESUS ET L'ANNONCE AUX BERGERS

This could be the corresponding painting in French because I think sonno corresponds to annonce (announcement/heralding)

It is from the same Louvre site mentioned in an answer above
