This review is from: Andrea Del Sarto (Hardcover)
This book - and the one on Sebastiano del Piombo - are the best acquisitions I have made this year on Italian painters of the first half of the XVIth century (another one on Dosso Dossi will soon follow).
Andrea del Sarto's career developed mainly in Florence, and he was highly esteemed by his peers, for even Vasari - Raphael's friend and champion - called him "a faultless painter". As he died young, his output was not very big, but its quality was outstanding. The illustrations are sharp and gorgeous and the text is well written. I would have preferred to have each chapter followed by a number of plates with extensive commentary. Here, the text is continuous and the plates have been inserted as closely as possible to the textual information. Highly recommended to those interested in early mannerist Florentine painting. |
