"The Madonna Surrounded by a Garland of Flowers" is a Baroque-era painting by Italian artist Pier Francesco Cittadini, also known as Il Milanese, due to his origins from Milan. This artwork is a quintessential example of a floral garland painting, a genre that became particularly popular in the 17th century, combining still-life elements with religious iconography. The painting features the Virgin Mary, or Madonna, at its center, depicted with a serene and contemplative expression, often associated with the Immaculate Conception or the Assumption. She is encircled by an elaborate and lush garland of flowers, which not only serves as an aesthetic frame but also carries symbolic meanings, with different flowers representing various virtues and attributes of the Virgin.

Cittadini, who was active during the 17th century, was known for his skillful blending of still-life elements with historical and religious subjects, and this painting is a testament to his ability to harmonize the two genres. The precise date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been produced during the height of Cittadini's career when he had fully developed his distinctive style that combined Milanese naturalism with influences from his time in Bologna under the tutelage of Guido Reni.

The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of the flowers, which showcases Cittadini's meticulous attention to the textures and colors of the natural world. The composition of "The Madonna Surrounded by a Garland of Flowers" is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye towards the central figure of the Madonna, highlighting her importance and sanctity.

While the current location of the original painting is not widely publicized, works of this kind were often commissioned by religious institutions or private patrons who sought to demonstrate their piety and appreciation for the arts. The painting's historical and artistic significance lies in its representation of the fusion of still-life and religious painting, as well as its embodiment of the Baroque period's fascination with combining the natural world with spiritual themes.
