| Résumé: | In 1569, Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) completed painting an altarpiece of the Madonna of the Rosary and a Tondo of angels dispersing roses. The commission was for the private chapel of the Capponi family in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. In his Ricordanze (Book of Records), Vasari explained the commission as well as documenting the assistance of his favorite Florentine pupil, Jacopo Zucchi (1541-1590), in the completion of the commission. This essay focusses on Vasari’s design, location, and meaning of the Tondo and its emblematic symbolism of love through the rose motif. |
