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 .
