"The Madonna del Granduca" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino), created around 1505. The painting is celebrated for its depiction of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, showcasing Raphael's mastery in portraying tenderness and maternal love with a serene and harmonious composition. The work is named after its former owner, Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany, who acquired it in the 19th century, and it has since been associated with his illustrious collection.

Measuring 84 cm by 55 cm, the painting is characterized by its intimate scale and the gentle interaction between mother and child. Mary is depicted with a quiet dignity and a soft, idealized beauty that is typical of Raphael's Madonnas. The Christ Child is rendered with a lifelike presence, looking directly at the viewer, which was a significant departure from the more static and iconic representations of the era. The background is subdued, allowing the figures to stand out, with their modeling achieved through subtle gradations of light and shade—a technique that Raphael had begun to perfect during this period.

"The Madonna del Granduca" is often noted for its influence from Leonardo da Vinci, particularly in the sfumato technique and the pyramidal composition, which Raphael had absorbed during his time in Florence. The painting's grace and clarity of form reflect Raphael's assimilation of Florentine artistic principles, which he would later develop further in his Roman period.

Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Palatine Gallery in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, and remains one of Raphael's most admired works, exemplifying the artist's ability to convey divine and human beauty with a profound simplicity. Its influence can be seen in the works of subsequent generations of artists, and it continues to be a subject of study for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of Raphael's oeuvre and Renaissance art as a whole.
