The Pesaro Madonna (Italian: Pala Pesaro) (better known as the Madonna di Ca’ Pesaro) is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Titian commissioned by Jacopo Pesaro whose family acquired in 1518 the chapel in the Frari Basilica in Venice for which the work was painted and where it remains today. Jacopo was Bishop of Paphos in Cyprus and had been named commander of the papal fleet by the Borgia pope Alexander VI.
