Madonna della seggiola

Raphael, 1513-1514

Oil on panel

71 × 71 cm

Palazzo Pitti, Florence

The Madonna della seggiola or Madonna della sedia is a painting by the Italian renaissance artist Raphael. It depicts Mary embracing the child Christ, while the young John the Baptist devoutly watches.

Painted during his Roman period, this Madonna does not have the strict geometrical form and linear style of his earlier Florentine treatments of the same subject. Instead, the warmer colors seem to suggest the influence of Titian and Raphael's rival Sebastiano del Piombo.
