Description:
|
|
The picture is rich in floral symbols of the Virgin. The angels hold long-stemmed lilies, the vases are filled with pink and white roses, one angel wears a wreath of roses, another is garlanded with white jasmine, and a third has a sprig of juniper around his wrist. The Child holds a pomegranate, symbolising the Resurrection. This unusually large tondo is recorded in a Borghese inventory of 1693 as a work of Ghirlandaio, an attribution it retained until the nineteenth century. First attributed to Botticelli in 1864 by Crowe and Cavalcaselle. The execution appears to have been left largely or entirely to his workshop. The pose of the little St John, kneeling to the left of the throne, resembles that of the naked youth in Filippino Lippi’s fresco of the Raising of the Son of Theophilus in the Carmine.
