"Maria Vergine Che Legge" (English: The Virgin Mary Reading) is an oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Carlo Maratta, also known as Carlo Maratti (1625–1713). Renowned for his religious compositions and his refined adaptation of classical art, Maratta created this work as a devotional image that reflects the contemplative nature of the Virgin Mary. The painting is characterized by its serene atmosphere and the gentle, idealized portrayal of Mary, which was typical of Maratta's mature style.

In "Maria Vergine Che Legge," the Virgin is depicted in a moment of quietude, engrossed in reading a holy book, which is often interpreted as the Scriptures. This theme of the Annunciation, where Mary is shown reading before the arrival of the Angel Gabriel, was a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing her piety and readiness to receive God's message. Maratta's interpretation is noted for its elegance and the harmonious composition, with a balanced use of light and shadow that enhances the spiritual ambiance of the scene.

The painting is a testament to Maratta's mastery of color and form, as well as his ability to convey religious themes with grace and emotional depth. As a leading painter in Rome during the late 17th century, Maratta's works were highly sought after, and he was regarded as the natural successor to the artistic legacy of Raphael. "Maria Vergine Che Legge" exemplifies Maratta's contribution to the Baroque movement and his influence on subsequent generations of artists.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the later period of Maratta's career. The artwork is part of Maratta's extensive oeuvre, which includes altarpieces, frescoes, and portraits that are held in various collections and churches around the world. "Maria Vergine Che Legge" remains an important piece within Maratta's body of work, reflecting both his artistic skill and his deep engagement with religious subject matter.
