The "Madonna della Sedia" or "Madonna of the Chair" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael. Created circa 1513-1514, this masterpiece exemplifies Raphael's skill in capturing the divine and human aspects of the Madonna and Child theme, a recurrent subject in Christian art. The painting is notable for its circular format, known as a tondo, which was popular during the Renaissance for its harmonious and infinite implications, symbolizing the eternal nature of the divine.

Raphael's "Madonna della Sedia" depicts the Virgin Mary embracing the Christ Child, who is seated on her lap, while a young John the Baptist attentively looks on. This intimate portrayal of the Madonna and Child, with St. John, is celebrated for its warmth, familial tenderness, and the serene expressions of its figures. Raphael's use of color, light, and shadow contributes to the painting's emotional depth and realism, making the divine figures accessible and relatable to the viewer.

The composition's circular form, combined with the close, cropped view of the figures, creates a sense of immediacy and intimacy. Raphael's mastery in rendering the textures of fabrics, the softness of flesh, and the intricate details of the subjects' hair and features, further enhances the painting's appeal. The positioning of the figures, with the Virgin Mary at the center, symbolizes her central role in Christian theology as the Mother of God, while the inclusion of John the Baptist alludes to his future role in Christ's life as the forerunner of the Savior.

Currently housed in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy, the "Madonna della Sedia" continues to be admired for its artistic beauty and its profound expression of maternal love and religious devotion. The painting remains a testament to Raphael's genius and his ability to convey complex theological themes through the medium of portraiture, making it one of the most cherished works in the history of art.
