Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Natali, director of Renaissance and Mannerist paintings at Florence's Uffizi Gallery, presents a summation of decades of work on del Sarto (1486-1530), one of the creators of the Mannerist style in Florence and France. Natali sets his vision of the artist against the traditional view, begun by Vasari, that del Sarto was a timid soul who wasted his talent. Instead, he shows del Sarto to have chosen a path that he rigorously followed in light of his humility and in a circle of like-minded friends and fellow artists. Not a catalogue raisonn?e (Natali defers to Sydney J. Freedberg's Andrea del Sarto, 1963, and John Shearman's Andrea del Sarto, 1965, as essentially complete catalogs), this book is rather a meditation based on a close reading of the artist's environment and a close look at the pictures. The text is readily accessible to the general reader, with a clear translation from the Italian original, excellent illustrations of del Sarto's Mannerist colors and forms, and a generous layout; beyond that, Natali's revisionist argument will attract an academic audience.AJack Perry Brown, Art Inst. of Chicago

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellently written and illustrated., Jun 18 2010
By Robert Levonian - Published on Amazon.com
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.
