"Madonna of the Taper" (Italian: Madonna della candeletta) is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Carlo Crivelli, dated to around 1490. This artwork is a prime example of Crivelli's meticulous attention to detail and his distinctive use of trompe l'oeil effects, which create a vivid illusion of three-dimensionality. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with a lit taper (candle) carefully positioned in the foreground, symbolizing the light of Christ. The inclusion of symbolic elements, such as fruits and flowers, which often represent purity and the Virgin's virtues, is typical of Crivelli's iconography.

The painting is celebrated for its exquisite detail, particularly in the rendering of textures and surfaces, from the delicate fabrics to the reflective qualities of the metallic objects. "Madonna of the Taper" is also noted for its architectural setting, which showcases Crivelli's skill in integrating his figures into complex spatial environments, enhancing the sacred and solemn atmosphere of the scene.

Currently housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, this work remains an important piece in the study of Crivelli's oeuvre, offering insights into his artistic evolution and the religious and cultural contexts of late 15th-century Italy. The painting is not only a testament to Crivelli's mastery of the oil painting medium but also reflects the broader trends of the Italian Renaissance, including the deep interest in perspective, naturalism, and the revival of classical ideals.
