''The Madonna of the Goldfinch'' (''Italian: Madonna del Cardellino'') is a renowned Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), created around 1505-1506. This masterpiece is an exemplar of High Renaissance art, showcasing Raphael's skill in composition, color, and form. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and the young John the Baptist, a common subject known as the ''Sacra Conversazione'' in the art of the period.

In the painting, the figures are arranged in a pyramidal composition, a hallmark of Renaissance aesthetics, which adds to the stability and harmony of the work. The Virgin Mary is seated in a pastoral landscape, symbolizing the Garden of Eden, and is shown tenderly watching over the two children. The young John the Baptist, identifiable by his reed cross, presents a goldfinch to the Christ Child, which is a symbol of Christ's future Passion, as the bird is associated with thorns. The interaction between the figures is gentle and intimate, with the Virgin Mary linking the two children through her gestures.

Raphael's use of color and light imbues the scene with a soft, ethereal quality, while the detailed landscape in the background adds depth and context to the interaction of the figures. The painting is also noted for its serene and idealized portrayal of the subjects, reflecting the artist's pursuit of an aesthetic of divine beauty and perfection.

The ''Madonna of the Goldfinch'' underwent a significant restoration process that lasted from 2004 to 2008, which addressed centuries of dirt accumulation, discolored varnish, and previous restoration attempts that had obscured Raphael's original vision. The restoration revealed the painting's vibrant colors and delicate details, allowing viewers to appreciate the work as it was meant to be seen.

Today, the painting is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, and remains one of Raphael's most admired works, attracting scholars and art lovers from around the world. Its influence can be seen in the works of subsequent generations of artists, and it continues to be a subject of study for its artistic and historical significance within the Renaissance period.
