In this case it would appear to be the wedding of Agnolo Doni to Maddalena Strozzi (hence the Strozzi symbol – the three crescent moons – that appear on the frame; the frame itself is worthy of an article or at least a few lines – it was most probably carved by Marco and Francesco del Tasso and features busts in clipei and phytomorphic and zoomorphic motifs – a truly wonderful specimen of high end Florentine carved frame). However, several things in the painting point to a later date than the wedding which took place in January of 1504. Most notably this is the figure immediately to the right of Josephs left arm which is a study of a nude taken from the Laocoon group that was unearthed in January of 1506 with Michelangelo being present there. Additionally, there is great likeness between the figures of the Doni Tondo and the Sybils which Michelangelo painted<br />in 1508 on the vault of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. All of this points to a date of execution between 1506 and 1508 for the Tondo, and this date incidentally with overlaps with the birth of Maria Donni on the 8th of September 1507, making, in my opinion, a strong case for the Tondo being commissioned not for the celebration of marriage but for the birth of the little girl. <br /><br />As for my opinion who is handling the baby, I think that no mother would pass her child to someone without directly looking at them. This type of passing, over the shoulder without knowing who and how would take it, seems unlikely to me. I would rather suggest that it is Joseph who is giving the baby to the Virgin, who is waiting for him to bring the child in front of her so she can grab hold of it.<br /><br />K<br />Dr. Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469403843869655063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054785923214156833.post-24341427483747071082015-04-08T08:19:25.165-07:002015-04-08T08:19:25.165-07:00My friend David from England offered the following...My friend David from England offered the following comment.<br /><br />An excellent piece. The Teaching Company series on Michelangelo by William Wallace devotes an entire lecture to the tondo, and supports many of the points you make, though it sees the naked figures in the background as pagans, making a back to front narrative – paganism, then John the Baptist, then on to Christ. <br /> Inevitably, art historians relish complexity in paintings, and if there isn’t any, their interpretations will build it in! However, in this case, it’s probably justified. Reading up the background to this work, Doni was an intellectual, and a friend of Michelangelo. He would have relished unpicking the theology in the picture, and Michelangelo would have enjoyed including it as an intellectual challenge. It seems that Michelangelo demanded a huge sum of money for the picture. Wallace points out that, up to this point, the price of a painting was based on the costs of the paint, the frame, the artist’s time, and so on. Here Michelangelo is charging a high price for the intellectual content. <br /> As far as the Christ child goes, and who is passing Him to whom, could not the ambiguity be deliberate?Dr. Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469403843869655063noreply@blogger.com
