"The Madonna and Child with Saint Margaret of Antioch" is a 17th-century oil painting by Theodor van Thulden, a Dutch painter associated with the Baroque movement and a student of Peter Paul Rubens. The painting is an example of religious art from the period, depicting the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child in an intimate moment, accompanied by Saint Margaret of Antioch, a Christian martyr from the 4th century who was venerated as a saint in both Eastern and Western Christian traditions.

The composition typically features the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, while Saint Margaret is often represented with a dragon, symbolizing her victory over Satan and her steadfast faith. Van Thulden's work is characterized by its dynamic figures, rich color palette, and the influence of his mentor Rubens, evident in the robust forms and dramatic use of light and shadow.

The painting reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the veneration of saints and the Holy Family, aiming to inspire piety and devotion among the faithful. The inclusion of Saint Margaret, known for her protection of women in childbirth, also suggests the painting may have been intended for a devotional context related to maternity and the protection of children.

The work of Theodor van Thulden, including "The Madonna and Child with Saint Margaret of Antioch," contributes to the understanding of the diffusion of Flemish Baroque style throughout Europe, as well as the cultural and religious milieu of the 17th century. The painting is significant for its artistic merit, its representation of Baroque religious iconography, and its place within the oeuvre of a notable student of Rubens.
