Andrea del Sarto (1486 – 1530)

• Was an Italian painter from Florence, whose career flourished during the High Renaissance and early Mannerism.
• Andrea married Lucrezia (del Fede), widow of a hatter named Carlo, of Recanati, on 26 December 1512.
• Lucrezia appears in many of his paintings, often as a Madonna.
• However, Vasari describes her as "faithless, jealous, and vixenish with the apprentices."
• Andrea died in Florence at age 44 during an outbreak of Bubonic Plague at the end of September 1530.
• It was Michelangelo who had introduced Vasari in 1524 to Andrea's studio.
• He is said to have thought very highly of Andrea's talents.
• Of those who initially followed his style in Florence, would have been Jacopo Pontormo, but also Rosso Fiorentino, Francesco Salviati and Jacopino del Conte.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: The holy Family with the Young Saint John the Baptist, 1528/29.
