Madonna and Child Kissing is a 1520s oil on panel painting by the Flemish renaissance artist Quentin Matsys in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam,[1] on loan to the Mauritshuis.

[1] That Madonna of the Cherries painting was the subject of an anecdote published in 1648 by Frans Fickaert (1614–1654) in which he stated that on 23 August 1615, while on a visit, the Archduke attempted to buy it from Van der Geest but was refused.

[1] Fickaert may have been mistaken in the year, or possibly this panel is not the original and was copied by the artist based on the story, or perhaps even because of its featured status in the Haecht painting and the enthusiasm Van der Geest had for Matsys.

Van der Geest celebrated the hundredth anniversary of Matsys' death by having his bones re-interred in the Antwerp Cathedral with the inscription Connubial bliss turned a blacksmith into Apelles.

The appropriation of art from the stadtholder's collection was a tactical move to prevent the abduction of more national treasure to Paris as had happened with the Gallery Prince William V in 1795.
