Doni Tondo
The artist
Michelangelo, the great Italian artist who also sculpted David and painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
What you see
The Holy Family sits together in a round painting, with Mary holding the baby Jesus up toward Joseph.
The story
Painted around 1507 for the Doni family, its round shape is called a tondo, which is why we call it the Doni Tondo.
The style
Michelangelo made the figures look strong and twisting, almost like carved statues, using bright and unusual colors.
Look closer
The painting has its own original golden frame that Michelangelo helped design, decorated with carved heads.
Where to see it
You can see it at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, where it is the only finished panel painting he left there.
Fun fact
It is the only wooden panel painting by Michelangelo that experts are fully certain he finished with his own hands.
