Raphael's "Madonna del Granduca," painted around 1505, is a serene depiction of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. This oil painting is celebrated for its tender composition, soft color palette, and the intimate expression of maternal love. Named after the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who once owned it, the painting exemplifies Raphael's mastery in creating harmonious and graceful religious imagery. It is now housed in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy.
