La Virgen del Magníficat — Historia y Análisis

Dos ángeles sostienen una corona sobre la Virgen María mientras ella escribe el cántico "Magnificat anima mea Dominum" ("Mi alma magnifica al Señor"), que da nombre a la pintura. El Niño Cristo guía su mano y toca una granada, cuyas semillas rojas evocan su sangre. Los ángeles de Sandro Botticelli son sin alas y llevan los peinados y ropas a la moda de los jóvenes de familias ricas florentinas de finales de 1400. El panel redondo, de 118 cm de diámetro, fue pintado en temple alrededor de 1483. Su destino original es desconocido; los Uffizi lo compraron de una colección privada en 1784, y se encuentra en la Galería Uffizi en Florencia.
