TONDO DONI
MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI
The meaning of the painting is still discussed even though the presence of St. John, Jesus, the angels and the prophets may recall the subject of baptism.
The figures are strong and muscular, like the ones Michelangelo painted later in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (1508 -1512) while the colors are vibrant and bright, especially those in Mary and Joseph’s robes giving plasticity to the characters through chiaroscuro effect.
According to Vasari the painting was commissioned by Florentine merchant Agnolo Doni, who was also portrayed together with his wife Maddalena Strozzi by Raphael (Uffizi Gallery, 1505- 1506) during their stay in Florence.
In the mid-16th century the painting was still in the house of Doni in Via San Niccolò, where also Francesco Bocchi saw it in the end of the century (1591). In the 17th century the painting was moved to the Uffizi Gallery and in 1677 Giovanni Cinelli described it in Tribuna hall.
Michelangelo painted the work between 1506 and 1508 and certainly after January 1506 when the antique marble statue of Laocoon was discovered in Rome. Michelangelo, who assisted the recovery, was inspired by the historic statue and painted the nude figures behind Joseph based on the figure of Laocoon. Also other his characters were inspired by the ancient artworks Michelangelo studied in Rome.
