The Alba Madonna is a seminal artwork by the Italian High Renaissance master Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael. This circular painting, known as a tondo, epitomizes the High Renaissance's ideals of beauty, composition, and harmony, and is celebrated for its sophisticated execution and profound expression of the Madonna and Child theme. Created around 1510, during Raphael's mature period, the painting is distinguished by its serene landscape, the tender interaction between the figures, and its refined use of color and light.

The artwork features the Virgin Mary seated in a natural setting, holding the Christ Child and handing him a cross, symbolizing his future crucifixion, while a young John the Baptist attentively watches. This interaction not only reflects the deep religious sentiment of the period but also showcases Raphael's skill in depicting complex human emotions and relationships. The figures are arranged in a pyramidal composition, a hallmark of Renaissance art, which adds to the stability and harmony of the scene.

Originally commissioned for a private patron, The Alba Madonna has a storied provenance, having been part of several distinguished collections, including that of the Alba family of Spain, from whom it derives its name. Its significance lies not only in its artistic excellence but also in its reflection of Raphael's intellectual engagement with themes of theology, philosophy, and the natural world, making it a masterpiece of Renaissance art.

Today, The Alba Madonna is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study, embodying the ideals of the Renaissance and the enduring genius of Raphael. Its influence extends beyond its immediate visual appeal, contributing to the understanding of Renaissance art and its cultural and historical context.
