Sistine Madonna also called La Madonna di San Sisto is an oil painting by the Italian artist Raphael. Commissioned in 1512 by Pope Julius II as an altarpiece for the church of San Sisto Piacenza it was one of the last Madonnas painted by the artist. Relocated to Dresden from 1754 the well-known painting has been particularly influential in Germany. After World War II it was relocated to Moscow for a decade before it was returned to Germany.
