The Uffizi - A Michelangelo Tour (sitios de interés)

Descripción del sitio

The Doni Tondo is the only panel painting unanimously accepted to be the work of Michelangelo.

The Virgin, a muscular young woman, is turning round, with a complicated movement, to take the Christ Child from Joseph.

The meaning of this scene is both theologically and philosophically obscure, as is the significance of the naked young men in the background.

The spectacular gilt wood frame, attributed to the Tasso family of woodcarvers, displays the Doni family coat of arms sporting lions.

The frame also contains the heads of two prophets and two sybils surmounted by the head of Christ.
