"Madonna della Sedia" or "Madonna della Seggiola" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael, created in 1518. This masterpiece depicts the Virgin Mary embracing the young Christ Child as he gazes affectionately at his mother, while a young John the Baptist devoutly watches the scene. The work is celebrated for its intimate portrayal of the Madonna and Child, and for Raphael's masterful use of color and composition.

The painting is circular in format, known as a tondo, which was a popular shape during the Renaissance for domestic devotional paintings. The tondo measures about 71 centimeters in diameter and is currently housed in the Palatine Gallery of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy. "Madonna della Sedia" showcases Raphael's ability to create warmth and tenderness between the figures, a characteristic that has made this image one of the most beloved depictions of the Madonna.

Raphael's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, gives depth to the figures and highlights the gentle, maternal affection of the Virgin. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures arranged in a pyramidal structure that was typical of High Renaissance art. The title of the painting, "Madonna della Sedia," translates to "Madonna of the Chair," referring to the Virgin Mary seated in a chair, which adds to the domestic and informal atmosphere of the scene.

The painting is notable for its departure from the traditional, more formal representations of the religious subjects, presenting them in a more accessible and human manner. This approach reflects the Renaissance interest in humanism and the natural world. Raphael's "Madonna della Sedia" continues to be admired for its beauty and its emotional resonance, remaining an important work within the oeuvre of one of the most celebrated artists of the Italian Renaissance.
