About the Item

Follower of Andrea del Sarto (Florence, July 16, 1486 - Florence, September 29, 1530) Madonna and Child, St. John and two Angels Oil on panel, 73 x 61.5 cm With frame 100 x 90 cm Francesco Bocchi, in his Discorso sopra l'Eccellenza dell'Opere di Andrea del Sarto Pittore Fiorentino, published in 1567, i.e., a year before the second and very famous edition of Vasari's Lives, already said to be a convinced admirer of Andrea del Sarto and weaved praise for him galore. In the final two decades of the 16th century the artist was a copied and unsurpassed model, so much so that two unusual behaviors were determined by his appreciators. Indeed, on the one hand there were those who boasted extreme honor in putting their hands to works begun by the master, as Alessandro Allori did when he had occasion to approach his Tribute to Caesar from the Medici villa at Poggio a Caiano. On the other, the rush to appropriate Andrea del Sarto originals played a very stimulating role, causing more often than not the production of necessary copies to replace the void left by the collectors' takeover. Autographs by the artist were in great demand by the Medici; one case in point: the St. Ambrose altarpiece painted for the Compagnia di Santa Maria della Neve in borgo la Croce, next to the church of St. Ambrose. The original painting was requested by Cardinal Carlo de'Medici, and a copy of the canvas by Jacopo de Empoli became necessary so that the Compagnia would not be left to the bare. The present painting repurposes the Virgin and Child, St. John and two angels, the original of which is now housed at the Wallace Collection in London. It was such a popular canvas that Andrea del Sarto himself reproduced it in several versions. Recall the one now in the Galleria Borghese in Rome (once identified as a work by Jacopo Pontormo, but already appearing as a replica by the Florentine master in the Borghese inventory of 1694) and the similar specimen in the Neapolitan Museum of Capodimonte of Farnese provenance. There are also many replicas such as those of Florentine scope from the convent of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, the Musèe des Beaux Arts Andrè Malareux and two two versions passed on the Italian antiquities market, as well as' as a copy by an anonymous Flemish kept in the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon.
