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