The Madonna of the Chair

"The Madonna della Seggiola," also known as High renaissance artist Raphael's exquisite Oil Panel Religious painting, was created circa 1513–1514. This intimate portrait depicts the Madonna seated with Child, showcasing Raphael’s mastery in composition and delicate detail. Known for its vibrant colors and lifelike realism, the work reflects the spiritual serenity typical of the High renaissance. Although the original patron remains unknown, the painting has belonged to the Medici family since the 16th century and is now housed at the Palazzo Pitti Collection in Florence, Italy.
