About the Artist
Andrea del Sarto
Andrea was the leading painter in Florence in the early 16th century. He was influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, Fra Bartolommeo, Michelangelo and Raphael. He developed his own version of the classical style of the High Renaissance, anticipating some qualities of Mannerism. He is noted for paintings of religious themes and portraits.
