"Madonna of the Flowers" (Madonna del Fiore) is a painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. It depicts the Virgin Mary (Madonna) holding the infant Jesus, with the young John the Baptist nearby. The inclusion of flowers symbolizes purity and innocence. This artwork is celebrated for its balanced composition, use of perspective, and the interplay of light and shadow, which are hallmarks of the Renaissance style. Although often linked to da Vinci, similar themes were also explored by other Renaissance artists, such as Raphael.
