The ''Madonna with the Blue Diadem'' is a painting by Raphael and his pupil Gianfrancesco Penni, and was most likely painted in Rome around 1512, now at the Louvre. In the Louvre, the painting is named ''Virgin and Child with the Infant Saint John'', also known as ''Virgin with the Veil'' or ''Virgin with the Blue Diadem''. Additional names include ''Virgin with the Linen'', ''Slumbering Child'' and ''Silence of the Holy Virgin.'' ==History== Legend has it that at one time the panel, split in two, was used to cover casks in Pescia.
