Madonna of the Rosary by Caravaggio

The Madonna of the Rosary is a painting finished in 1607 by the Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio, now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

St. Louis de Montfort tells of a devout but self-willed Roman woman who once confessed to St. Dominic, who gave her a single Rosary as penance and urged her to pray it daily; advice she rejected, claiming she already performed many rigorous penances and devotions. Later, during prayer, she had a vision of her judgment: all her good works were placed on one side of a scale, but her sins and imperfections outweighed them. In her anguish, she begged the Blessed Virgin for help, and Our Lady placed the one Rosary she had prayed onto the scale - and it outweighed everything else. Awakened and humbled, the woman returned to St. Dominic in repentance, resolved to pray the Rosary daily, and through it, advanced to holiness and eternal life.
