"Madonna with the Fish," also known as "Madonna del Pesce," is a renowned painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael. Created around 1513-1514, this artwork is a testament to Raphael's exceptional skill in composition, use of color, and ability to convey serene beauty and divine grace. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.

The composition of "Madonna with the Fish" features the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, holding the Christ Child. To her left stands the archangel Raphael, who is guiding the young Tobias, a figure from the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament. Tobias holds a fish, which is a reference to the story in which the archangel instructs him to use the fish's organs to cure his father's blindness. On the right side of the Virgin is Saint Jerome, identifiable by his cardinal's hat and the lion at his feet, symbolizing his time spent in the wilderness.

Raphael's use of vibrant colors and delicate details enhances the spiritual and harmonious atmosphere of the painting. The figures are arranged in a pyramidal composition, a common feature in Renaissance art that creates a sense of stability and balance. The serene expressions of the Virgin and Child, combined with the gentle interaction between the figures, reflect Raphael's mastery in depicting human emotion and divine presence.

The painting is also notable for its iconographic elements. The fish held by Tobias not only alludes to the biblical story but also symbolizes Christ, who is often referred to as the "fisher of men." The inclusion of Saint Jerome emphasizes the importance of scholarly devotion and the translation of the Bible, as Jerome is best known for his translation of the Scriptures into Latin.

"Madonna with the Fish" is a significant work within Raphael's oeuvre, exemplifying his ability to blend religious narrative with artistic innovation. It remains a celebrated piece, admired for its beauty, technical excellence, and profound spiritual resonance.
