French Antique Oil Painting After Raphael – Madonna della Seggiola with the Child and Saint John

Elegant French circular oil painting from the early 19th century, depicting the Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John, after the celebrated masterpiece by Raphael, known as the Madonna della Seggiola (Madonna of the Chair).

Faithful to the original iconography, the composition shows the Virgin Mary seated and tenderly embracing the Child Jesus, who is wrapped in a richly coloured golden garment. To the right, the young Saint John the Baptist, with his hands joined in prayer, gazes upon the sacred scene in an attitude of devotion and contemplation.

The circular format faithfully recalls Raphael's celebrated composition and enhances the intimate and devotional character of the subject. The work represents a refined example of the enduring influence of Raphael's art on European painting, particularly in the 19th century.
