The Madonna, inside a white stone structure that allows a glimpse of a landscape, holds the Child between two angels who look at her intently. The work would be a juvenile test of Botticelli, who carefully experimented the theme of the Madonna and Child, first inspired by the plastic and solid interpretations of Filippo Lippi and then identifying in an accentuated linearism the most appropriate means to represent elegant and beautiful images which are typical of its mature phase. Our Madonna would be a test of the years 1468-69, when the tension towards pure and spiritual beauty became for Botticelli the primary objective of his entirely intellectual art. The panel was kept in Palazzo Farnese and was sent to Naples in 1760.
