The devotional altarpiece, unfinished, is usually referred to the early 1520s, at the beginning of the stay in Volterra, due to the close connection with the Villamagna Altarpiece. It shows the Madonna holding the Child standing on a green cushion, placed near the lower edge of the table, while on the left St. Joseph and St. John the Baptist turn towards the Savior, with a very accentuated rotation. The impulse of the Child embracing his mother recalls the Madonna of the Harpies by Andrea del Sarto (1517). The presence of Donatellesque stylistic features have been related to a possible frequentation of Jacopo Sannazzaro in a hypothetical Neapolitan trip of those years.
Typical of the artist are the watery eyes, the restless contour line, the lively and dynamic brushstroke, the tapering of some anatomical details, such as the elegant hand of the Virgin.

It is one of three surviving panel paintings attributed to the artist and is dated to his first period in Rome. Attribution of the painting to Michelangelo was in doubt for much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but now most scholars are in agreement. The work first came to public attention in the Art Treasures Exhibition in Manchester in 1857, hence the title the “Manchester Madonna”.
