"The Madonna of the Carnation" (Italian: "Madonna del Garofano") is an early Renaissance painting attributed to the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, created around 1478-1480. This artwork is significant as it represents one of Leonardo's initial explorations into the theme of the Madonna and Child, a subject he would revisit throughout his career. The painting is named after the carnation held by the Christ Child, which is a symbol of the Passion of Jesus and the future Christian Church.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated with the infant Jesus on her lap. The composition is notable for its tender interaction between mother and child, as well as the use of sfumato—a technique developed by Leonardo that involves the subtle blending of colors and tones to create a soft, smoky effect. This technique contributes to the lifelike quality and atmospheric depth characteristic of Leonardo's work.

Measuring approximately 62 cm × 47.5 cm, the painting is executed in oil on a wooden panel. It is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek museum in Munich, Germany. The "Madonna of the Carnation" showcases Leonardo's early mastery of oil painting and his innovative approach to composition and form, elements that would later culminate in his most famous works, such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.

Art historians have studied the painting for its stylistic elements and iconography, noting the influence of Leonardo's master, Andrea del Verrocchio, as well as the artist's own emerging style. The work is also an important piece for understanding the development of High Renaissance art and the evolution of religious iconography during this period.

While the attribution of the painting to Leonardo has been a subject of scholarly debate, the majority of experts agree on Leonardo's authorship, citing the painting's quality and characteristics that align with his known body of work. "The Madonna of the Carnation" remains a valuable piece for both its artistic merit and its role in the broader context of Renaissance art history.
