"Virgen de la Silla" (also known as "Madonna della Seggiola" or "Madonna of the Chair") is a renowned Renaissance oil painting by the Italian master Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, commonly known as Raphael. Created circa 1513-1514, this artwork exemplifies Raphael's mastery in depicting the Madonna and Child theme, a recurrent subject in Christian art. The painting is notable for its intimate portrayal of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and a young John the Baptist, all of whom are rendered with a warm humanity that was characteristic of Raphael's mature period.

The composition is circular, a tondo, which was a popular format for domestic devotional paintings during the Renaissance. Raphael's use of this format enhances the sense of closeness and tenderness among the figures. The Virgin Mary is seated, holding the Christ Child on her lap, while John the Baptist, identifiable by his reed cross, looks on devoutly. The figures are closely embraced, creating a compact group that conveys a sense of familial affection and sacred unity.

"Virgen de la Silla" is celebrated for its vibrant color palette, the skillful rendering of textures, and the harmonious arrangement of forms. Raphael's technique in this painting reflects the influence of Venetian colorism, which he began to incorporate into his work after encountering the art of Titian and other Venetian painters. The chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, gives the figures a three-dimensional quality and contributes to the overall sense of volume and space within the composition.

The painting's title, "Virgen de la Silla," translates to "Virgin of the Chair," referencing the prominent depiction of the Virgin Mary seated in a chair. This domestic setting, combined with the informal poses of the figures, imbues the scene with a sense of accessibility and warmth, inviting the viewer into a moment of private devotion.

Today, "Virgen de la Silla" is housed in the Palazzo Pitti, part of the Galleria Palatina in Florence, Italy. It remains one of Raphael's most admired works, reflecting the artist's ability to blend divine subjects with a profound sense of humanism, a hallmark of the High Renaissance.
