Focus on Madonna del Sacco (Andrea del Sarto) and discuss the History.
Andrea del Sarto (1486–1530) had frescoed seven lunettes during 1514–1516 in the small cloister in front of the church facade, including the well-known Nativity of the Virgin. He returned a decade later to complete this more serene, uncrowded arrangement of the Holy Family.
Copies of the painting was depicted in copies and engravings by multiple artists including Raphael Morghen and Michelle Corneille the Elder.
