And then, here are frescoes by Cosimo Rosselli, Andrea del Sarto, under glass too, a Nativity of Christ by Alessio Baldovinetti, not under glass, which seems unfair; and what if they be the finest work of Andrea, since you cannot see them. Within, the church is spoiled and very ugly.
Baptism of the Gentiles Andrea del Sarto 3 1514. 9. S. John bound in the presence of Herod Andrea del Sarto 5 1522. 10. Dance of Herodias Andrea del Sarto 6 1522. 11. Beheading of S. John Andrea del Sarto 7 1522. 12. Herodias receives the head of S. John Andrea del Sarto 8 1522.
The preacher faded from before one's eyes, and there rose the figure of the Nazarene, best lover of every human soul, with a face of tender patience such as Sarto gave the Master in the Church of the Annunziata, and stretching out His hands to old folk and little children as He did, before His death, in Galilee.
Andrea del Sarto built up the model of the Baptistery with all kinds of eatables, with a reading desk of veal, and book with letters inlaid with truffles, at which the choristers were roast thrushes with open beaks, while the canons were pigeons in red mantles of beetroot an idea more droll than reverential.
I am unpleasantly reminded of Andrea del Sarto and even of lesser men; I see the frescoes of Vasari in the distance. It is all the work of a divinely gifted youth who swiftly ran to waste, carrying with him all the art of his day and land to the same fatal abyss. But the art of Perugino is still solid and beautiful, immutably serene. It radiates peace and strength.
Andrea del Sarto again Franciabigio outraged Alessio Baldovinetti Piero de' Medici's church An Easter Sunday congregation Andrea's "Madonna del Sacco" "The Statue and the Bust" Henri IV The Spedale degli Innocenti Andrea della Robbia Domenico Ghirlandaio Cosimo I and the Etruscans Bronzes and tapestries Perugino's triptych S. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi "Very sacred human dust".
When Vasari had been some months with Michelagnolo, that excellent man was summoned to Rome by Pope Clement, to receive instructions for beginning the Library of S. Lorenzo; and he was placed by him, before he departed, with Andrea del Sarto.
The delight and exultation of those who minister to the new-born infant are expressed with the most graceful naïveté. This beautiful composition should be compared with those of Ghirlandajo and Andrea del Sarto in the Annunziata at Florence; it yields to neither as a conception and is wholly different. It is the work of a Sienese painter little known Girolamo del Pacchio.
"Sometimes you are a flame a wonderful, scarlet flame I can express it in no other way. Or again, you are like the Madonna of our new faith, and I wish I were a del Sarto to paint you. And then again you seem as cold as your New England snow, you have no feeling, you are an Anglo-Saxon a Puritan." She smiled, though she felt a pang of reminiscence at the word. Ditmar had called her so, too.
Why, Titian, Tintoretto, Paul Veronese, Raphael none other than the world's idols, the "old masters." Andrea del Sarto glorified his princes in pictures that must save them for ever from the oblivion they merited, and they let him starve. Served him right.
