On the occasion of the exhibition Andrea del Sarto: The Renaissance Workshop in Action, the first major gathering of the artist’s drawings and paintings from the world’s major collections, scholars and specialists from across Europe and North America will explore the work of this key Florentine artist. With insights into aspects of del Sarto’s draftsmanship, fresh evidence concerning his studio practice, a new study of his crucial relationship to the sculptor Jacopo Sansovino, and an examination of his activities during the Siege of Florence (1529–30), the group will explore multiple facets of this complex and fascinating artistic personality.
