Description:
|
|
Painted in bistre (bister) as the underpainting. The position of Saint Anne standing behind the Virgin is conventional. Among the patron saints of Florence are Saint Reparata and Saint Zenobius, and probably Antonius (not yet canonized). Saint Anne was a popular saint in Florence; her saint's day was a public holiday. The work was commissioned on 26 November 1510 by Piero Soderini, Gonfaloniere of the Republic, for the Sala del Consiglio Maggiore (council room) in the Palazzo Vecchio but never finished. It was meant as a sacra conversazione including the patron saints of Florence and those saints on whose feast days the city had won key battles, such as Saint Anne. The program for the work was seen as being inspired by Savonarola and pro-Republic; the Medici were restored to power in 1512. The panel was transferred from the Uffizi to the Museo di San Marco in 1922. (Source: Cornelison, Sally J.; Art and the Relic Cult of St. Antoninus in Renaissance Florence, London: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2012 (0754667146, 9780754667148))
