The work was purchased by the Horne Foundation after the death of its founder, in 1934, when there was the Bengujat auction of the furnishings of the Davanzati Palace. The tondo was probably previously owned by the Marquises Durazzo Spinola of Genoa. [1]
Stylistically close to San Michele in the Church of San Nicolò al Carmine, it shares an approach similar to other works, such as the one in the Doria Pamphili Gallery or the one in the Marri Mignanelli Collection in Sinalunga.
The space of the tondo is exploited to perfection by the sacred group, centered on the figure of the Child who opens a book in the hands of a man, probably the client, to whom he also turns an intense gaze. Jesus is in the hands of Mary seated and on the left appear Joseph, emerging from the shadows, and St. John, recognizable by the bowl with which he carried out the baptism. The intertwining of gestures and glances between the figures recalls the classical models of Raphael and the Florentine painters, combined with Beccafumi's very particular sense of color and light. [2]
The carved frame with high-relief heads recalls that of the Tondo Doni and refers to the activity of Giovanni Barilli.

Masaccio, born Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, was a Florentine artist who is regarded as the first great Italian painter of the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance. According to Vasari, Masaccio was the best painter of his generation because of his skill at imitating nature, recreating lifelike figures and movements as well as a convincing sense of three-dimensionality. He employed nudes and foreshortenings in his figures. This had seldom been done before him.
Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli or simply Botticelli, was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century, when he was rediscovered by the Pre-Raphaelites who stimulated a reappraisal of his work. Since then, his paintings have been seen to represent the linear grace of late Italian Gothic and some Early Renaissance painting, even though they date from the latter half of the Italian Renaissance period.
Antonio Allegri da Correggio, usually known as just Correggio was an Italian Renaissance painter who was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the High Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the sixteenth century.

He is considered a master of chiaroscuro.

A pupil of Fra Angelico, Gozzoli is best known for a series of murals in the Magi Chapel of the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, depicting festive, vibrant processions with fine attention to detail and a pronounced International Gothic influence.

Gozzoli is considered one of the most prolific fresco painters of his generation. While he was mainly active in Tuscany, he also worked in Umbria and Rome.

The Adoration of the Magi is a tondo, or circular painting, of the Adoration of the Magi assumed to be that recorded in 1492 in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence as by Fra Angelico. It dates from the mid-15th century and is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Most art historians think that Filippo Lippi painted more of the original work, and that it was added to some years after by other artists, as well as including work by assistants in the workshops of both the original masters. It has been known as the Washington Tondo and Cook Tondo after Herbert Cook, and this latter name in particular continues to be used over 50 years after the painting left the Cook collection.

The seraphim in the four corners of the work are thought to be later additions by a Sienese artist, possibly at the end of the 16th century – Judey attributes them to an artist in the circle of Correggio and Sanminiatelli to a generic Baroque-influenced Sienese artist.
