MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Tondo Pitti

🖼 Tondo Pitti, 1503-1505
Marble sculpture
Florence, Italy

Marble curves frame Madonna and Child in perfect circular relief, their tender embrace rendered with fluid, almost painterly carving. Michelangelo's revolutionary tondo format influenced Renaissance domestic art, merging classical roundels with intimate devotional imagery and establishing new standards for sculptural composition.
