"The Madonna of the Goldfinch" (Italian: "Madonna del Cardellino"), also known as "The Madonna del Cardellino," is a renowned Renaissance painting by the Italian master Raphael, completed around 1505-1506. The painting is a significant example of Raphael's early work and showcases his developing style, which was influenced by his contemporaries, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The artwork is a depiction of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and the young John the Baptist, a common subject in the art of the period known as the "Sacra Conversazione."

In the painting, the Virgin Mary is seated in a natural setting, and with her left hand, she supports the Christ Child as he stands on her right knee. The young John the Baptist, identifiable by the reed cross he holds, presents a goldfinch to Christ. The goldfinch is a symbol of the Passion, as legend has it that the bird acquired its red markings from trying to remove the thorns from Christ's brow during the Crucifixion. The figures form a pyramidal composition, a hallmark of High Renaissance art, and the landscape in the background features a winding river and distant mountains, which add depth and perspective to the scene.

The painting is executed in oil on wood and measures 107 cm × 77 cm (42 in × 30 in). It is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. "The Madonna of the Goldfinch" underwent a significant restoration process that began in 2001 and was completed in 2008, revealing the work's original vibrant colors and details that had been obscured by centuries of dirt and old restorations.

Raphael's "The Madonna of the Goldfinch" is celebrated for its serene beauty, harmonious composition, and the tender interaction among the figures. It is a testament to the artist's mastery of form and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through art. The painting remains an important work for the study of Raphael's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance art.
