Pontormo also portrayed in one and the same picture two of his dearest friends one the son-in-law of Beccuccio Bicchieraio, and another, whose name likewise I do not know; it is enough that the portraits are by the hand of Pontormo.
This receipt would prove either that he went to Luco later than 1524, or that he returned there to finish the works in the year 1528. On their return to Florence in the autumn Andrea painted a fine work for his friend, Beccuccio da Gambassi, a glass-worker.
This description seems to point more certainly to the Sarzana Madonna, which is now in the Hall of Apollo, in the Pitti Palace. That for Beccuccio is described, with the four above-mentioned saints only, by all the Italian authors. The tabernacle, at the corner of the convent, outside the Porta Pinti, Florence, was painted about this time.
