"God the Father and the Virgin Mary (fragments of the Baronci Altarpiece)" is a set of two surviving fragments from a larger work, the Baronci Altarpiece, which was the first documented commission of the Italian Renaissance master Raphael. Created around 1500-1501 for the church of St. Nicholas of Tolentino in Città di Castello, Umbria, the altarpiece was disassembled and subsequently lost during the 17th century, with only these fragments and a few others remaining to provide insight into Raphael's early artistic development.

The first fragment, "God the Father," depicts the upper half of a figure traditionally interpreted as God the Father, set against a backdrop of golden clouds and cherubic figures. This piece showcases Raphael's early mastery of perspective and his ability to convey divine presence through the use of light and shadow. The second fragment, "The Virgin Mary," portrays the Madonna in a moment of tender contemplation or prayer, her gaze slightly downcast. This fragment is particularly noted for its demonstration of Raphael's skill in capturing the subtleties of human emotion and the serene beauty characteristic of his depictions of the Madonna.

Both fragments are executed in oil on wood and exemplify the transition from the stylistic influences of Raphael's teacher, Perugino, towards a more personal and innovative approach that would come to define his mature work. The Baronci Altarpiece fragments are significant for their art historical value, providing a glimpse into the formative years of one of the most celebrated artists of the High Renaissance. Today, these precious remnants of Raphael's early oeuvre are held in different collections, with "God the Father" residing at the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia and "The Virgin Mary" at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California.
