The Sciarra Madonna is an oil on canvas painting attributed to Titian, signed "TITIANVS" and dated to circa 1540. It belongs to the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, and it is in deposit in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, in Barcelona.
This attribution was accepted by Cavalcaselle, abandoned and then revived by Suida, who noted how the Madonna's pose echoed that in Rest on the Flight into Egypt (Longleat House). Tietze and Berenson argue it is a work by the school of Titian rather than an autograph work.




History


It is first recorded in the Palazzo Sciarra in Ferrara, from which it was bought in Rome by Francis Cowper. It then passed from his descendants to the Thyssen collection.
