Madonna and Child with Ignudi

Madonna and Child with Ignudi is a tempera on panel painting by Luca Signorelli^[1], created c. 1490, produced for the Medici Villa di Castello, where it was seen by Giorgio Vasari. It was probably a commission from Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici, who also commissioned Primavera and Birth of Venus from Botticelli. It is now in the Uffizi in Florence.^[2] Its title refers to the ignudi in the background.
