"Madonna della Sedia" or "Madonna of the Chair" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino), created circa 1513-1514. This masterpiece is celebrated for its intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary, the Christ Child, and a young John the Baptist, encapsulating the warmth and familial affection in a harmonious composition. Raphael's work is distinguished by its circular format, known as a tondo, which enhances the closeness and unity among the figures. The painting's title, "Madonna della Sedia," derives from the Virgin Mary's depiction seated in a chair, a pose that, combined with the circular format, contributes to the artwork's sense of intimacy and immediacy.

The composition showcases Raphael's exceptional skill in capturing the tenderness of the subjects' expressions, rendered with soft, harmonious color palettes and delicate chiaroscuro that imbues the scene with a gentle, luminous quality. The figures are arranged in a closely knit, pyramidal grouping, a technique that Raphael mastered and frequently employed to create a sense of solidity and balance. The Virgin Mary is shown in a moment of maternal affection, embracing her son, Jesus Christ, who in turn reaches out to John the Baptist, symbolizing the connection between the Old and New Testaments.

"Madonna della Sedia" is often lauded for its innovative use of the tondo format, which was popular during the Renaissance for domestic devotional paintings. Raphael's adaptation of this format demonstrates his ability to innovate within traditional artistic conventions, making the sacred scene accessible and relatable to the viewer. The painting's warmth and familial intimacy reflect the humanist ideals of the Renaissance, emphasizing the humanity of religious figures and making the divine more approachable.

Currently housed in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, "Madonna della Sedia" remains one of Raphael's most admired works, exemplifying the artist's mastery of form, composition, and emotional depth. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey universal themes of love, family, and spirituality with grace and beauty, securing its place as a pivotal work in the canon of Renaissance art.
