"The Marriage of the Virgin" is a renowned painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael, also known as Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino. Completed in 1504, this work is a significant example of Raphael's early artistic development and is often cited for its compositional symmetry, use of perspective, and serene representation of a traditional religious subject.

The painting depicts the marriage ceremony between the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, a narrative derived from the apocryphal texts of the Protoevangelium of James. Raphael's interpretation of this scene is celebrated for its harmonious arrangement and the delicate interplay of the figures within a meticulously constructed architectural setting. The central action shows a priest joining the hands of the young Mary and Joseph, who were chosen to be wed through a divine sign, as described in the apocryphal texts.

Raphael's mastery in the use of linear perspective is evident in the painting, with the vanishing point centered at the joining hands of the holy couple, drawing the viewer's attention to the significance of the union. The temple in the background, an example of Renaissance architecture inspired by Bramante, whom Raphael admired, provides a grand and ordered backdrop to the event.

Measuring 174 cm × 121 cm, "The Marriage of the Virgin" was originally commissioned for the Franciscan church of San Francesco in Città di Castello, in Umbria. The painting's influence was widespread, marking a departure from the traditional representations of the same subject by earlier artists such as Perugino, Raphael's mentor.

Today, "The Marriage of the Virgin" is housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the oeuvre of Raphael, who would go on to become one of the most celebrated painters of the Renaissance.
