The ''Madonna della Seggiola'' or ''Madonna della Sedia'' is a celebrated oil on panel painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael, also known as Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino. Created circa 1513-1514, this artwork is renowned for its intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and Saint John the Baptist. The painting's title, which translates to "Madonna of the Chair," alludes to the circular format of the piece, known as a tondo, and the domestic setting suggested by the chair in which Mary is seated.

Raphael's ''Madonna della Seggiola'' marks a departure from the traditional, more formal representations of the Madonna and Child, presenting a tender and informal scene that emphasizes the human connection between mother and child. The composition is noted for its harmonious arrangement of figures, creating a sense of closeness and familial love. Mary is depicted with a gentle expression, embracing the young Jesus who reaches out affectionately to Saint John. This interaction not only reflects the warmth of a family unit but also carries religious significance, symbolizing the close relationship between Christ and his future herald.

The painting is characterized by its rich color palette and Raphael's masterful use of chiaroscuro, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and imbues the scene with a soft, gentle light. The circular format, or tondo, was a popular choice for domestic devotional images during the Renaissance and is thought to symbolize the eternal nature of the divine.

Currently housed in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy, the ''Madonna della Seggiola'' remains one of Raphael's most admired works, exemplifying the artist's ability to combine divine subjects with a profound sense of humanity. Its enduring appeal lies in its accessibility and the universal themes of maternal love and familial intimacy, which transcend the religious context of the painting. Raphael's influence on the development of Western art is evident in this masterpiece, which continues to be studied and revered for its aesthetic beauty and emotional resonance.
