The Madonna of the Little Candle, also known as Madonna della Candeletta, is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Carlo Crivelli. Created in the late 15th century, this painting exemplifies Crivelli's distinctive style, characterized by its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the use of tempera on panel. Crivelli, who was active primarily in the Marche region of Italy, is renowned for his highly decorative and somewhat idiosyncratic approach to religious subjects, often incorporating elaborate patterns and gilded elements into his compositions.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, a common theme in Christian art, but Crivelli's rendition is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and the inclusion of symbolic elements. The title of the work refers to the small candle held by the Christ Child, which is a symbol of light and purity, often associated with the divine presence. The figures are set against a richly adorned background, featuring a tapestry-like pattern that enhances the sense of opulence and reverence.

Crivelli's use of linear perspective and his skillful rendering of textures, such as the delicate folds of the Virgin's robe and the intricate designs of the background, demonstrate his mastery of the tempera medium. The painting also reflects the influence of the International Gothic style, with its emphasis on elegance and decorative detail, while simultaneously incorporating elements of the emerging Renaissance aesthetic.

The Madonna of the Little Candle is housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. It stands as a testament to Crivelli's unique contribution to Renaissance art, blending traditional iconography with his own distinctive, ornate style.
