Madonna of the Magnificat

This work is credited for being the most expensive tondo, chiefly due to an extensive use of gold paint in its varied details such as Mary’s crown.

Created in “tondo” or circular form, this religious work is outstanding in depicting the Holy Mother Mary, looking solemnly at baby Jesus, whom she is holding and simultaneously writing a book.

This panel done in tempera measures ‎118 cm × 119 cm and is housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy.
