"Enthroned Madonna with the City Saints of Bologna," also known as the "Vow Altar," "Plague Altar," or "Rosary Madonna," is a significant religious painting by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni. Created in the early 17th century, this artwork is a testament to the city of Bologna's devotion and its response to the devastating impact of the plague. The painting features the Virgin Mary, depicted as the Madonna, seated on a throne with the Christ Child, surrounded by saints who hold particular significance to Bologna. These saints are typically the protectors and patrons invoked during times of crisis, such as epidemics.

The painting is characterized by Reni's masterful use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey divine serenity through the Madonna's countenance. The composition is harmoniously balanced, with the figures arranged in a pyramidal structure, a common feature in Renaissance and Baroque art intended to draw the viewer's eye towards the central figures of Mary and the Christ Child. The saints are often portrayed with attributes that identify them and their connection to the city or the plague, such as Saint Petronius, Bologna's patron saint, and Saint Roch, commonly invoked against the plague.

Commissioned during a period when the plague was rampant, the "Enthroned Madonna with the City Saints of Bologna" served not only as a work of art but also as a focal point for the community's prayers and hopes for divine intercession. The painting's significance is further enhanced by its historical context, reflecting the deep religious fervor and the collective vow or prayer (hence the term "Vow Altar") made by the city's inhabitants for relief from the plague.

The "Enthroned Madonna with the City Saints of Bologna" remains an important cultural and religious artifact, offering insight into the societal impact of the plague in Italy and the role of art in providing solace and hope to a suffering population. It is a prime example of Guido Reni's contribution to religious art and the Baroque style, showcasing his ability to capture the spiritual aspirations of his time through the medium of paint.
