The Madonna and Child with the Infant John the Baptist (previously also known as The Virgin of the Sandal) is a 1518 oil-on-panel painting by the Italian painter Antonio da Correggio.
Stylistically it is closest to the frescoes Correggio produced for the Camera di San Paolo and the fact that it was a model for Michelangelo Anselmi suggests that Correggio painted it in Parma. It is the work in which Leonardo da Vinci's influence on Correggio is most obvious – it forms a free variation on Leonardo's The Virgin of the Rocks.
It was brought from Parma to Madrid by Isabella Farnese on her second marriage to Philip V of Spain. It was registered among her goods at La Granja in 1746 and now hangs in the Prado Museum.
