The "Madonna del Baldacchino" is a distinguished oil painting on wood by the eminent Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael. Created in 1507, this masterpiece stands as a pivotal work in Raphael's oeuvre, showcasing his transition from the influences of his teacher, Perugino, towards a more mature and sophisticated style that would eventually define the High Renaissance. The painting, whose title translates to "Madonna of the Baldachin," measures approximately 277 cm in height by 224 cm in width, and is currently housed in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy.

The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary enthroned, holding the Christ Child, with Saints Peter, James the Greater, Augustine, and Margaret of Antioch standing alongside. Above them, two angels hold a baldachin, a ceremonial canopy, which gives the painting its name. This arrangement, along with the use of a baldachin, was innovative for its time and signifies the sacred nature of the figures beneath it. The composition is dynamic, with figures positioned in a semi-circle, giving a sense of depth and three-dimensionality that was a hallmark of the emerging High Renaissance style.

"Madonna del Baldacchino" is notable for its detailed depiction of the figures and the use of color and light to create depth and volume. Raphael's skill in conveying the textures of fabrics and the softness of flesh is evident, as is his ability to capture the spiritual and serene expressions of the holy figures. The painting also reflects the influence of Florentine art, particularly the work of Fra Bartolomeo, with whom Raphael had a close association during his time in Florence.

Commissioned for the Dei Chapel in the church of Santo Spirito in Florence, the "Madonna del Baldacchino" was intended as an altarpiece, a role that it fulfilled until the 17th century when it was replaced and subsequently entered the Medici collection. Its history reflects the changing tastes and religious practices of the period, as well as the movement of artworks among the collections of Europe's elite.

Today, the "Madonna del Baldacchino" is celebrated as a key example of Raphael's early mastery and his contributions to the development of Renaissance art. It remains a subject of study for art historians and a highlight of the Palazzo Pitti's collection, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to experience Raphael's genius firsthand.
