The "Madonna of the Chair" or "Madonna della Seggiola" is a renowned Renaissance oil painting by the Italian master Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael. Created circa 1513–1514, this artwork is celebrated for its intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and the young John the Baptist. The painting's name derives from the Italian word "seggiola," meaning chair, as the Virgin is depicted sitting on a low chair rather than a throne, emphasizing the domestic and tender nature of the scene.

Raphael's "Madonna of the Chair" is noted for its circular format, known as a tondo, which was a popular shape for domestic devotional paintings during the Renaissance. The tondo measures approximately 71 centimeters in diameter and is currently housed in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, as part of the collection of the Galleria Palatina. The composition's circular form complements the theme of familial intimacy, as the figures are closely nestled within the confines of the frame, creating a sense of unity and completeness.

The painting is a masterful example of Raphael's skill in capturing the warmth and affection between the figures. The Virgin Mary is shown embracing her son, Jesus, who in turn reaches out to John the Baptist, symbolizing the connection between the Old and New Testaments. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and adds to the overall sense of volume and form.

Raphael's color palette in the "Madonna of the Chair" is rich and harmonious, with the red of Mary's garment and the blue of her mantle traditionally symbolizing her earthly love and heavenly purity, respectively. The intimate scene is framed by a sumptuous curtain in the background, which adds to the domestic setting and provides a contrast to the smooth, flesh tones of the figures.

The "Madonna of the Chair" is often praised for its emotional resonance and technical excellence, showcasing Raphael's ability to blend divine subjects with human warmth and familial love. It remains one of the most beloved and admired works in the oeuvre of Raphael, reflecting the enduring appeal of the High Renaissance style and the universal themes of maternal affection and spiritual grace.
