Andrea
del Sarto:
(1486-1531), was an outstanding
painter of the Italian Renassaince.
Florence
He worked in his home city of Florence. During his time, Florence was
declining in power, and the greatest artists who had been trained there,
such as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, lived elsewhere.
Easy movements
Del Sarto worked in the style that they had developed. It is marked by
balanced designs with easy movements, and by gradual shadows and soft
colors.
Florentine tradition
Thought not original, his work maintened the great Florentine tradition.
Andrea Del Sarto is the subject of a famous poem by the British writer
Robert Browining.
