The "Madonna of the Rose Bush" (German: "Madonna im Rosenhag") is a celebrated painting by the German artist Martin Schongauer, created in 1473. As a prominent figure of the Northern Renaissance, Schongauer was renowned for his detailed and delicate work, both as an engraver and a painter. This particular piece is an exquisite example of his painting oeuvre and is notable for its intricate depiction of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, a subject matter deeply rooted in Christian iconography.

The painting features the Virgin Mary seated within a rose bower, a symbol of purity and the Virgin's title as the "mystical rose" from medieval symbolism. The Christ Child, depicted on her lap, reaches out to the roses, which are rendered with botanical accuracy and are believed to be the Rosa gallica, a species native to the region. The figures are set against a gold leaf background, a technique commonly used in religious panel paintings of the time to signify the divine aura surrounding the holy figures.

Measuring approximately 200 x 125 cm, the "Madonna of the Rose Bush" is executed in oil on panel, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular during Schongauer's time due to its versatility and durability. The artist's mastery of color and texture is evident in the lifelike portrayal of the subjects and the lush foliage that surrounds them.

The painting is also significant for its influence on subsequent generations of artists, including the young Albrecht Dürer, who visited Colmar in 1492 and was greatly inspired by Schongauer's work. Today, the "Madonna of the Rose Bush" is housed in the Church of St. Martin in Colmar, France, and remains an important piece within the canon of Northern Renaissance art, attracting scholars and admirers for its beauty and historical relevance.
