Andrea del Sarto

The most important High Renaissance painter of the Mannerist movement in Florence

Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530) was the most important Florentine painter of the High Renaissance in Florence.

With a style influenced by Raphael, a figurative torsion influenced by Michelangelo, and a palate informed by the soft, often weird colors of Venice, he helped found the mannerist movement perfected by his students Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino.

He has dozens of works in the Pitti Palace, but some of his most important are in SS. Annunziata, where he is buried.
