The ''Sistine Madonna'', also known as the ''Madonna di San Sisto'', is one of the most famous and highly revered paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael, or Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino. Completed in 1512, this oil painting on canvas stands as a monumental work of High Renaissance art and showcases Raphael's mastery of color, composition, and human form. Commissioned by Pope Julius II for the Benedictine monastery of San Sisto in Piacenza, the painting was later moved to Dresden from Italy in the 18th century and is now housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child at the center, flanked by Saint Sixtus and Saint Barbara. Above them, two cherubs rest on a cloud, gazing upward, and have become iconic in their own right. The Madonna stands on clouds, framed by heavy curtains that two angels appear to draw back, revealing the heavenly scene to the viewers. The figures are set against a backdrop of a luminous sky, which adds to the ethereal and divine atmosphere of the piece.

Raphael's ''Sistine Madonna'' is celebrated for its emotional impact and the serene beauty of the figures, particularly the Virgin Mary, who is portrayed with an expression of tender contemplation. The painting is also noted for its use of sfumato, a technique of soft, gradual transitions between colors and tones, which contributes to the lifelike quality of the figures and the overall harmony of the composition.

The ''Sistine Madonna'' has had a significant influence on the arts and has been widely reproduced, with the two cherubs at the bottom of the painting becoming particularly popular in popular culture. The work's status as a masterpiece of the Renaissance and its enduring legacy in art history make it a central piece in the study of Raphael's oeuvre and the broader context of Italian Renaissance painting.
