"Madonna del Rosario" (1607) is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. This work, also known as "The Madonna of the Rosary," is a significant piece that showcases Caravaggio's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his profound influence on the Baroque style of painting. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary presenting the rosary to Saint Dominic, with Saint Peter the Martyr at her side, as a group of followers from various walks of life gather around in a semi-circle, emphasizing the universality of the Christian message.

The painting, measuring 365 cm × 250 cm (144 in × 98 in), was commissioned for the altar of the Rosary Chapel in the Church of San Domenico Maggiore in Naples. It was part of a larger program of works celebrating the power of the rosary, a devotional practice promoted by the Dominican Order. The commission came during a turbulent period in Caravaggio's life, marked by his flight from Rome after a brawl that led to a death sentence for murder.

In "Madonna del Rosario," Caravaggio's signature style is evident in the stark contrasts between light and shadow, which serve to heighten the emotional intensity and bring a sense of immediacy to the scene. The figures are rendered with a naturalism that was groundbreaking for the time, and the composition reflects Caravaggio's ability to create a dynamic interaction between the sacred and the earthly.

The painting's history is marked by a series of movements; it was taken to Vienna in 1781 by the Dominicans to prevent its confiscation by the Neapolitan government. It eventually became part of the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, where it remains on display, allowing viewers to appreciate one of Caravaggio's significant contributions to religious art.

"Madonna del Rosario" is not only a masterpiece of Caravaggio's oeuvre but also a vital piece of art history that exemplifies the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on engaging the faithful through vivid and accessible imagery. Its enduring legacy is a testament to Caravaggio's influence on the visual arts and his ability to convey spiritual narratives with a compelling sense of realism.
