"Madonna della Candeletta" is a celebrated Renaissance painting by the Venetian artist Carlo Crivelli, created between 1490 and 1492. This exquisite work of art is renowned for its intricate detail, rich symbolism, and the distinctive use of gold leaf, which is characteristic of Crivelli's style. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with a candlestick, or "candeletta," prominently featured, giving the artwork its name. The presence of the candlestick is often interpreted as a symbol of the divine light of Christ.

The painting is executed in tempera on panel and is noted for its high degree of realism combined with a certain degree of Gothic linearity, which was somewhat anachronistic for the time, as the Italian Renaissance was moving towards a more naturalistic approach. Crivelli's work, however, is distinguished by his adherence to a more conservative style, which included the use of bold colors, meticulous attention to detail, and the elaborate application of gilding to create a luxurious and otherworldly effect.

"Madonna della Candeletta" is part of a larger altarpiece that Crivelli painted for the church of Santa Maria a Pie di Chienti in the Marche region of Italy. The altarpiece was later disassembled, and its pieces were dispersed to various museums and collections. The "Madonna della Candeletta" itself is housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, Italy, where it continues to be an object of admiration and study for its artistic and historical significance.

Crivelli's work is often overshadowed by that of his contemporaries, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, but his paintings, including the "Madonna della Candeletta," are celebrated for their unique blend of Byzantine influences and Northern European realism. This painting remains a testament to Crivelli's skill and his contribution to the art of the Italian Renaissance.
