It was made at the order of Piero de' Medici, who was as fond of this church as his father Cosimo was of S.Lorenzo.Michelozzo only designed it; the sculpture was done by Pagno di Lapo Portigiani, whose Madonna is over the tomb of Pope John by Donatello and Michelozzo in the Baptistery.
Among the altar-pieces are two by Perugino; but of Florentine altar-pieces one can say little or nothing in a book of reasonable dimensions.

There are so many and they are for the most part so difficult to see.

Now and then one arrests the eye and holds it; but for the most part they go unstudied.

The rotunda of the choir is interesting, for here we meet again Alberti, who completed it from designs by Michelozzo.

It does not seem to fit the church from within, and even less so from without, but it is a fine structure.
