“This is perhaps the ‘tondo’ mentioned by Vasari as in the Pucci family home in 1568. The shape of the tondo may have evolved from the ‘desco da parto’, a painted plate presented to a mother after childbirth. The challenge of the tondo is to create a coherent composition in a circular space. This is a stimulus to centralise the composition.
Botticelli is among the first artists to centralise the subject of the Adoration. It had usually been represented as a flow across the picture plane, as in Botticelli’s own earlier ‘Adoration’, also in the Collection.” ~ https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/sandro-botticelli-the-adoration-of-the-kings
