\nSan Giovannino, on the left, hands a goldfinch, symbol of the passion and the soul, to the child Jesus who seeks refuge in the womb of his mother Mary, almost making a leap towards her.
\nMary, with a face veiled by a severe and melancholy expression at the same time, seems to stare at little Saint John, as if to reproach him for this innocent gesture.
\nThe figures of the bas-relief slowly emerge from the bottom plane, which appears to have been left in a rough, rough state.
\nThe English painter John Constable, the greatest exponent of British Romanticism, was entranced by the Tondo Taddei so much that he defined it: \u201cOne of the greatest works of art ever\u201d.
\nIt is kept at the Royal Academy in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
