The ''Madonna della Sedia'' or ''Madonna della Seggiola'' is a celebrated Renaissance oil painting by the Italian master Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael. Created circa 1513-1514, this artwork is renowned for its intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary embracing the Christ Child, with the young John the Baptist devoutly watching. The painting's name, which translates to "Madonna of the Chair," derives from the circular format of the piece, known as a tondo, and the domestic chair upon which Mary is seated, emphasizing the scene's familial warmth and tenderness.

Raphael, a contemporary of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, was a pivotal figure of the Italian High Renaissance, and his works are celebrated for their clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. In the ''Madonna della Sedia'', Raphael's mastery is evident in the harmonious composition, the soft modeling of the figures, and the vibrant color palette, which contribute to the serene and affectionate atmosphere of the scene.

The painting is notable for its departure from the traditional hieratic representations of the sacred figures, presenting them instead with a revolutionary naturalism and accessibility. This approach reflects the humanist trends of the period, which sought to connect the divine with the everyday experience of the viewer. The ''Madonna della Sedia'' is also distinguished by its use of chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures, which Raphael employed to enhance the three-dimensionality of the composition.

Currently housed in the Palatina Gallery of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy, the ''Madonna della Sedia'' continues to be admired for its aesthetic beauty and its significant influence on the development of Marian iconography in Western art. Its enduring appeal is a testament to Raphael's genius and his ability to capture the essence of the divine in a form that resonates with humanity.
