Roberta Olson explores an important phenomenon in Italian Renaissance art: the fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century flowering of the tondo (or circular) form in painting and sculpture. The tondo represented the Renaissance ideal of the perfect form. This book fills a major gap in Florentine artistic and cultural history, collating documentary, textual, and artistic material with new evidence.
