''Madonna with the Serpent'' (1606) is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his realistic approach to the human figure. This work, also known as ''Madonna dei Palafrenieri'' or ''The Madonna of the Grooms,'' was originally commissioned for the altar of the Palafrenieri (Papal Grooms) in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome but was removed shortly after its installation due to its controversial depiction of the Virgin Mary.

The painting portrays the Virgin Mary, with the Christ Child in her arms, standing on the head of a serpent, symbolizing the triumph over evil as described in the Book of Genesis. Saint Anne, Mary's mother, is also present, observing the scene. The figures are set against a dark background, which is characteristic of Caravaggio's style, and are illuminated by a strong light source that highlights the drama of the moment.

Caravaggio's ''Madonna with the Serpent'' is notable for its departure from traditional depictions of the Holy Family. The Virgin is shown with bare feet and in a humble dress, emphasizing her humanity rather than her divinity. The painting's realism and the inclusion of common people in a sacred context were innovative at the time and contributed to the development of Baroque art.

Despite its initial rejection, ''Madonna with the Serpent'' is now recognized as an important work in Caravaggio's oeuvre and is admired for its powerful imagery and technical mastery. The painting is currently housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, where it continues to attract attention and scholarly interest.
