About this ebook

The ingenious Michelangelo personally presented Vasari in 1524 in the studio of Andrea del Sarto and recommended him as a student. Vasari in his biography writes that he very highly appreciated Andrea's talents.
From those students who initially followed his style in Florence, the most famous was Jacopo Pontormo, but as well Rosso Fiorentino, Francesco Salviati and Jacopino del Conte.
The career of Andrea del Sarto flourished during High Renaissance and early Mannerism. Although he was widely regarded as a senza errori artist during his lifetime, his prominence was eclipsed after his death by his contemporaries, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Rafael.
Vasari himself, however, sharply criticized his teacher, claiming that although he had all the prerequisites for a great artist, he had no ambition and this divine fire of inspiration which inspired the paintings of his more famous contemporaries: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Rafael.

    Foreword

    Andrea del Sarto was born in Florence. Because his father was a tailor (Italian: sarto), he became known as del Sarto which literally translated means tailor's son.

    In 1494, Andrea trained for a goldsmith, and then as a woodcarver and painter at a teacher named Gian Barile, with whom he remained until 1498.

    According to his first biographer Vasari, he then studied at Piero di Cosimo and later at Raffaellino del Garbo.

    After finishing her apprenticeship, Andrea and a one his older friend decided to open a joint studio in a room at Piazza del Grano. The very first product of their partnership may have been the beginning of a monochrome series
