The Madonna of Loreto or Pilgrim's Madonna is a famous painting (1604–1606) by the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, located in the Cavalletti Chapel of the church of Sant'Agostino, just northeast of the Piazza Navona in Rome.[1] It depicts the apparition of the barefoot Virgin and naked child to two peasants on a pilgrimage; or, as some say, it is the quickening of the iconic statue of the Virgin.

In 1603 the heirs of marquis Ermete Cavalletti, who had died on 21 July 1602, commissioned for the decoration of a family chapel, a painting on the theme of the Madonna of Loreto.[1] Putting into practice the marquis's will, the Cavaletti's on 4 September 1603 purchased a chapel in the church of Sant'Agostino in Rome.[2]
The painter Giovanni Baglione, a competitor who had successfully ensured Caravaggio was jailed during a libel trial, said that the unveiling of this painting "caused the common people to make a great cackle (schiamazzo) over it". The uproar was not surprising. The Virgin Mary, like her admiring pilgrims, is barefoot. The doorway or niche is not an exalted cumulus or bevy of putti, but a partly decrepit wall of flaking brick is visible. Only the merest halo sanctifies her and the baby. While beautiful, the Virgin Mary could be any woman, emerging from the night shadows. Like many of Caravaggio's Roman paintings, such as the Conversion on the Way to Damascus or the Calling of St Matthew, the scene is a moment where everyday common man (or woman) encounters the divine, whose appearance is also not unlike that of a common man (or woman). The woman modelling Mary appears to be the same as that in the canvas in the Galleria Borghese: The Madonna and Child with St. Anne (Dei Palafrenieri) (1605).
It has been suggested that Caravaggio's composition is at least in part derived from a detail of a 1574 engraving, Adoration of the Magi, after Rosso Fiorentino, by Caravaggio's friend Cherubino Alberti (1553–1615).[3]

Die Madonna dei Pellegrini (Pilgermadonna) oder Madonna di Loreto (Loreto-Madonna) ist ein Ölgemälde von Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), das zwischen 1604 und 1606 entstand. Es befindet sich in der Cappella Cavalletti der Basilika Sant’Agostino in Campo Marzio in Rom, einer der bedeutenden Kirchen auf der Pilgerstraße von der Porta Flaminia zum Petersdom.

[es] Madonna de Loreto
Madonna de Loreto es un cuadro de Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, hecho en 1604 por orden de Ermete Cavalletti, que lo deseaba para su capilla familiar en la basílica de Sant'Agostino. La pintura es de un carácter votivo, alejado de la naturaleza muerta propia de Caravaggio. La virgen tiene una pose muy poco religiosa, pues la modelo era la prostituta conocida como «Lena», común en los cuadros de Caravaggio. La obra llegó en el tiempo del Jubileo Contrarreformista de 1600, por lo que el pintor fue duramente criticado y hasta tachado de hereje.[fr] La Madone des pèlerins
