The Madonna delle Grazie is a tempera painting on panel by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli believed to have been painted around 1470. It was gifted to Pope Sixtus IV and displayed at a church in Santa Maria la Carità as a favor to the Medici family. The painting later fell into the hands of private collectors and was rediscovered by the Italian government in November 2023. The painting's value upon recovery was estimated at US$109 million.
