SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Andrea del Sarto, born in Florence in 1486, who died in 1530, owed his nickname to his father’s trade as a tailor. His altarpieces and devotional paintings combine the softly blended modelling inherited from Leonardo with warmer colour. Drawing accompanied this exploration: studies of figures, faces and animals fed into his compositions, while red chalk offered a direct means of investigating observed forms.
The Madonna of the Harpies, painted in 1517 for the nuns of San Francesco de’ Macci, brings together the Virgin and Child, Saint Francis and Saint John the Evangelist. Its pyramidal arrangement and sculptural figures meet delicate transitions of colour. Preserved in the Uffizi, the painting joins the monumentality of an altarpiece to the attention to faces, gestures and volumes developed in his studies.
This profile brings together identity references for Andrea del Sarto and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
