"The Madonna and Sleeping Child with the Infant Saint John" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci. Created during the late 16th century, this artwork exemplifies Carracci's skill in blending the naturalism of the High Renaissance with the emerging dynamism of the Baroque period. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary, serene and contemplative, watching over the Christ Child as he sleeps. Beside them, the young Saint John the Baptist, identifiable by his reed cross, is often included as a witness to the divinity of his cousin, Jesus.

Annibale Carracci, along with his brother Agostino and cousin Ludovico, was a founder of the Bolognese School and a pivotal figure in the transition from Mannerism to Baroque. His work is characterized by a return to the study of nature and the classical tradition of the Renaissance, tempered with an emotional depth and vitality that would come to define the Baroque movement. "The Madonna and Sleeping Child with the Infant Saint John" is a prime example of Carracci's mastery of composition, his use of chiaroscuro to create depth, and his tender portrayal of human emotion.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its influence on the development of religious imagery during the Counter-Reformation. Carracci's approach to religious subjects was part of a broader movement within the Catholic Church to inspire devotion through art that was both accessible and uplifting. His work often featured intimate, humanizing moments from the lives of sacred figures, making them relatable to the faithful and enhancing their spiritual impact.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is generally attributed to the period when Carracci was active in Rome, where he contributed to the decoration of the Palazzo Farnese and where his work would have a lasting impact on the evolution of Italian painting. "The Madonna and Sleeping Child with the Infant Saint John" remains an important work within Carracci's oeuvre, exemplifying the qualities that made him one of the most influential artists of his time. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and continues to be studied for its stylistic significance and its role in the broader context of European art history.
