''The Madonna of the Pinks'' (''La Madonna dei Garofani'') is a small devotional painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), created around 1506-1507. The artwork, an oil on yew panel, is a prime example of Raphael's skill in capturing the tender and intimate moments between the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. Measuring just 27.9 cm × 22.4 cm (11 in × 8.8 in), the painting is notable for its exquisite detail and the use of rich, vibrant colors.

The composition of ''The Madonna of the Pinks'' shows the Virgin Mary seated in a domestic setting, engaging with the infant Jesus who clutches a pink, or carnation, symbolizing the future Passion of Christ. The flowers are also a traditional symbol of love and marriage, hinting at the union between the divine and human nature of Christ. The figures are rendered with a gracefulness and naturalism that are characteristic of Raphael's work from his Florentine period, influenced by the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

The painting's provenance includes a period in the collection of the Duke of Northumberland, whose family owned it for several generations, mistakenly attributing it to a different artist due to overpainting. It was only after cleaning and restoration in the 1990s that the painting was reattributed to Raphael. This reattribution was confirmed by scientific tests and scholarly consensus, which recognized the painting's quality and stylistic features consistent with Raphael's oeuvre.

''The Madonna of the Pinks'' is currently held in the National Gallery, London, after a high-profile acquisition campaign in 2004 that saved it for the British public. The campaign was necessary to prevent the painting's sale to the Getty Museum in California and involved contributions from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Art Fund, and public donations. The acquisition was a significant achievement for the National Gallery, ensuring that this masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance remains accessible to the public.
