One of the two putti in this work seems to be jabbing St. Francis in the stomach with his wing. The other looks down at the foot of St. John, whose depiction was modeled on a statue by Sansovino that this work's artist admired. Ferdinand de Medici wanted to acquire this work so badly that he offered the nuns of San Francesco dei Macci a copy by Pertrucci as well a complete restoration of their church in exchange for it. It is now housed in the Uffizi, where patrons can still see the four aforementioned figures flanking the title woman who stands on a pedestal decorated with reliefs of mythological monsters. FTP, identify this 1517 work, the masterpiece of Andrea del Sarto.
