Description:
|
|
The Virgin is portrayed surrounded by a faux frame (part of the grisaille work) that places her in a tondo format within a rectangular painting. She is sitting in a flowery meadow, against a background of young athletes (probaly to be interpreted as allegoric of ascetic virtues); towering above her are the monochrome (grisaille) figures of John the Baptist and two prophets. Vasari tells us that the painting was presented by Luca to Lorenzo the Magnificent and there can be no doubt that the learned symbolism and the allegorical references it contains would have been fully appreciated by the Medici Court.
