It can be said that the whole art world was shaken when Uffizi (Uffizi), an ancient world-class museum founded in 2124 during the Renaissance in Florence, Italy, decided to bring its own collection into the world of Blockchain in the form of NFTs (Non-Fungible Token) art. The first NFT work from Michelangelo’s legendary painting Doni Tondo was launched and sold for 140,000 euros or about 5.3 million baht… and this is just the beginning as there are many more works that Uffizi is preparing to present in the form of NFTs art as well.
The Doni Tondo is a painting on a round wooden panel with a diameter of 120 cm. It is believed to have been painted in 2048-2049 AD and depicts the “Holy Family” consisting of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Michelangelo painted this picture for Agnolo Doni, a famous cloth merchant at the time, and the word Tondo in Italian means round 
This work is a highlight of Uffizi and it is often said that if you go to the Louvre (Louvre) you must see Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa (Mona Lisa), then if you come to Uffizi you must see Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo 
because this picture is one of the prototype styles of the great ceiling painting at the Sistine Chapel (Sistine Chapel) at the Vatican (Vatican). He went to start painting at the chapel three years after he had created this work. And Doni Tondo is still the only finished painting on wood that we can still see today. And because this brilliant artist preferred sculpture to painting 
, his number of paintings has become even less and it is not easy to find nowadays.
From my personal experience of seeing this picture, I must say that it is still in very good condition. And if anyone wants to see this picture in full flavor, I recommend seeing it in three stages: Foreground, Midground and Background because at each stage there are interesting details hidden not a little 
Bringing beauty of art from over 500 years ago into the world of NFTs art that is hot right now, Uffizi has teamed up with an agency called Cinello to turn Uffizi’s art into a digital version that is the same size as the original in a format that Cinello calls DAW (Digital Artwork) with an official certificate of ownership signed by Eike Schmidt, director of Uffizi. And it’s interesting that the famous museum will get half of the profits from every sale of this type that is sold by Cinello 
The sale of Michelangelo’s NFTs this time, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, said that the buyer was a lady from Rome who bought it as a birthday gift for her husband’s 60th birthday who was also an avid art collector 
Ike also told the newspaper that this NFT sale was not a change in revenue model for the museum but more supplementary income. Creating a new market like this is not easy.
This phenomenon has to be said to be very interesting because it is the first time that a museum (and high profile at that) has played in the NFT market by itself and did not sell through auction houses. This can be seen as taking advantage of existing works in hand and also meeting the needs of collectors who want these legendary works but cannot buy them because it would be very difficult for Uffizi to sell these national treasures out into the market
