Explore the History of this artwork, Madonna of the Rose Garden (Botticelli).
The work was in the Chamber of Commerce of Florence which leads to the hypothesis that like Botticelli's earlier painting, the Madonna della loggia, it had been commissioned either by the Wool Guild or the  Tribunale della Mercanzia. 
Wilhelm von Bode was the first to date the work to the artist's juvenile phase, in particular to the period of Verrocchio, 1469–1470, which has since been  confirmed by other scholars.
