''Madonna della Seggiola'' or ''Madonna della Sedia'' is a celebrated Renaissance oil painting by the Italian artist Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael. Created circa 1513-1514, the artwork depicts the Virgin Mary embracing the child Christ, while the young John the Baptist devoutly watches. The painting is renowned for its circular format, known as a tondo, which was a popular shape during the Renaissance for domestic devotional paintings.

The composition of ''Madonna della Seggiola'' is notable for its intimate and familial portrayal of the sacred figures, a departure from the more formal and distant depictions common in earlier religious art. Raphael's use of warm, harmonious colors and the gentle, affectionate interaction between the figures contribute to the painting's tender and approachable atmosphere. The Virgin is shown in a moment of maternal care, seated with the Christ Child on her lap, while John the Baptist, identifiable by his reed cross, looks on. The figures are closely framed within the circular border, emphasizing their closeness and the unity of the holy family.

The title ''Madonna della Seggiola'' translates to "Madonna of the Chair," referencing the chair in which Mary is seated, further grounding the scene in a domestic setting. This approach reflects the humanist trend of the High Renaissance, which sought to connect the divine with the everyday experiences of the viewer.

Raphael's mastery of chiaroscuro—the contrast of light and shadow to achieve a sense of volume—and his skillful rendering of the textures of fabric and flesh are evident in this work. The painting's charm and warmth have made it one of Raphael's most beloved and reproduced works.

Today, ''Madonna della Seggiola'' is housed in the Palazzo Pitti, in Florence, Italy, as part of the collection of the Galleria Palatina. Its influence can be seen in the works of subsequent artists, who were inspired by Raphael's intimate and human portrayal of sacred subjects. The painting remains an important example of Raphael's artistic legacy and a masterpiece of High Renaissance art.
