"The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist" is a notable painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), created during the early 16th century. This artwork is a prime example of Raphael's devotional paintings and showcases his exceptional ability to convey serenity and grace in his depictions of religious subjects. The painting portrays the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with the young Saint John the Baptist present, a common theme known as the "Sacra Conversazione" that was prevalent in Renaissance art.

Raphael's treatment of the Madonna and Child theme is renowned for its tender humanism and balanced composition. In this work, the figures are arranged in a pyramidal structure, a compositional device that Raphael frequently employed to create a sense of harmony and stability. The Virgin Mary is typically depicted at the center, exuding maternal warmth and gentleness as she interacts with the infant Jesus, who is portrayed with a naturalistic charm and childlike innocence. The inclusion of Saint John the Baptist, often shown with a reed cross or lamb, adds a prophetic dimension to the scene, foreshadowing Christ's future as the "Lamb of God."

The painting's precise location and date of creation are subjects of scholarly debate, but it is generally believed to have been produced during Raphael's Florentine period (1504–1508) when he was influenced by the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The influence of Leonardo is particularly evident in the soft chiaroscuro and the delicate rendering of the figures' features.

"The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist" is celebrated for its refined use of color and light, as well as its sophisticated rendering of drapery and form. Raphael's skill in capturing the psychological interaction between the holy figures contributes to the painting's emotional impact and devotional power.

The painting has been held in various private and public collections over the centuries, and its provenance is well-documented. Today, it is considered one of Raphael's masterpieces and continues to be studied for its artistic significance and its embodiment of Renaissance ideals of beauty and spirituality.
