Adoration of the Child (detail)Fra Bartolomeo
This tondo or circular painting (c.1495), Mary and Joseph kneel in reverence before the infant Christ, who rests on a sack amid delicate vegetation. The ruined architecture behind them symbolizes the fall of paganism, while the balanced composition and radiant palette reflect Bartolomeo’s early embrace of Renaissance ideals.
