History

Giorgio Vasari recorded that the painting was originally commissioned to Bindo Altoviti.

It portraits a very old Saint Anne who is seated and holds out to the Virgin her son. There is a Saint John seated, nude, and behind Saint Anne another female saint.

Bindo sent the Madonna dell'Impannata to his palace in Florence, where the picture remained until Duke Cosimo I de' Medici confiscated it for his own chapel, newly decorated by Raphael.^[1]

During the Napoleonic occupation, the painting was brought to Paris in 1799, and then returned in 1815 .
