 SARTO drea the Faultless). His drawing is excel- lent, his modelling is always good, and his colouring has a freshness and a luminous transparency not found in any other painter of the Florentine school. His Madonnas are exquisite, some of them rivalling in love- liness even those of Raphael ; but their beauty is only a superficial beauty they want depth of soul ; and this is why Andrea occupies a lower place in the history of art than that to which his great powers would seem at first to entitle him. Among his best easel pictures are : Four Saints and Two charming Angels holding a Scroll, Florence Academy ; Annunciation (2), Dispute about the Trinity (1517), Madonna with Saints, Holy Family (2), History of Joseph, Madonna in Glory and Saints (1525), Assumption (2), Deposition, John Baptist, Palazzo Pitti, Flor- ence ; Madonna delle Arpie (1517), St. James and Children, Portrait probably of himself, Uffizi, Florence ; Charity, Holy Family (2), Louvre ; Holy Family and Saints, St. Barbara, Hermitage, St. Peters- burg ; Madonna and Saints, Berlin Muse- seum ; Marriage of St. Catherine, Madonna with Cherubs, Sacrifice of Abraham, Dres- den Gallery ; Tobias and Angel, Field, Vi- enna Museum ; Sacrifice of Abraham, Holy Family, Madonna (3), Assumption, Female Portrait, Madrid Museum ; Holy Family, Portrait of del Sarto, National Gallery, Lon- aly, 111. 542 ; Va- 63 ; ed.
