Marriage of the Virgin or the Ginori Altarpiece is a 1523 oil on panel painting by Rosso Fiorentino, signed and dated by the artist.[1] It was commissioned by Carlo Ginori for the chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary and saint Joseph - previously owned by the Masi family that chapel had been acquired by the Ginori family in 1520.[2] It still hangs in the Basilica, whilst a drawn copy attributed to Antonio Circignani is now in the Louvre (n.1592).[3]

Five figures kneel on the steps up to the main scene, with two putti and an old female saint (perhaps Saint Anne) to the left and a Dominican saint (possibly Vincent Ferrer and possibly a portrait of the painting's commissioner) and a young female saint with a book (Saint Apollonia).
