''The Madonna of the Carnation'', also known as ''Madonna with Vase'' or ''Madonna with Child'', is an early Renaissance painting by the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci. Created around 1478-1480, the artwork is a significant example of Leonardo's early work, showcasing his emerging mastery of the human form and his use of symbolic elements. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ Child on her lap, who reaches for a carnation held in his mother's hand. The carnation, a symbol of the Passion of Christ and the incarnation, is a central motif that gives the painting its name.

The artwork is executed in oil on a wooden panel, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular during the Renaissance due to its versatility and durability compared to the traditional egg tempera. Measuring approximately 62 cm × 47.5 cm (24 in × 18.7 in), ''The Madonna of the Carnation'' is noted for its delicate use of color and light, which would become hallmarks of Leonardo's mature style. The composition demonstrates Leonardo's interest in the pyramidal grouping of figures, a technique that he would continue to refine throughout his career.

Currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, ''The Madonna of the Carnation'' is one of several Madonna and Child compositions Leonardo painted in his early career while he was still an apprentice in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence. Although the painting is not as well-known as some of Leonardo's later works, such as the ''Mona Lisa'' or ''The Last Supper'', it is an important piece for understanding the development of his artistic techniques and his exploration of religious themes.

Scholarly debate has surrounded the attribution of the painting, with some experts suggesting the involvement of Leonardo's workshop or other artists in its execution. However, the general consensus supports Leonardo's authorship, and the painting is widely accepted as an authentic work by the master. ''The Madonna of the Carnation'' remains an invaluable piece within the oeuvre of Leonardo da Vinci, reflecting both his innovative approach to painting and his profound impact on the art of the Renaissance.
