The Doni Tondo is the most famous among the very few paintings on panel by Michelangelo, made on commission from the Florentine merchant Agnolo Doni for his wedding to Maddalena Strozzi in 1504. Originally it hung in the bedchamber of their home on Corso dei Tintori in Florence. The foreground is occupied by the highly modeled figures of the holy Family; the three figures together form a compact group in which the baby Jesus stands out against the intertwining arms of the Virgin and Joseph.
