''Madonna and Child'' (or ''The Ansidei Altarpiece'') is a renowned Renaissance painting by the Italian master Raphael, completed around 1505. This altarpiece is a significant example of High Renaissance art, showcasing Raphael's skill in composition, his use of color, and his ability to convey serene beauty and divine grace. The painting was originally commissioned for the Ansidei family chapel in the church of San Fiorenzo in Perugia, hence its name.

The central panel of the altarpiece depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a majestic throne, holding the Christ Child. The figures are rendered with a calm and solemn presence, characteristic of Raphael's style during this period. The Virgin is shown in a traditional pyramidal composition, a hallmark of Renaissance painting, which adds to the stability and harmony of the work. The Christ Child blesses the viewer while holding a book, symbolizing the New Testament.

Flanking the central panel are figures of saints; to the left stands Saint John the Baptist, and to the right, Saint Nicholas of Bari. Each figure is placed within an architectural setting that provides a sense of depth and perspective, further demonstrating Raphael's mastery of spatial composition.

The ''Madonna and Child'' is notable for its clarity of form and the tranquil mood it evokes, as well as its refined use of color. Raphael's technique shows the influence of his contemporaries, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, yet also displays a unique delicacy and attention to detail that would become synonymous with his work.

After changing hands several times, the altarpiece was acquired by the National Gallery in London in 1884, where it remains on display. Its acquisition was a matter of national pride, as it was one of the most significant purchases of a Raphael painting by a public institution at the time. The ''Madonna and Child'' continues to be a subject of study for art historians and a beloved masterpiece for visitors to the gallery, representing a pinnacle of Raphael's artistic achievements and a treasure of the Italian Renaissance.
