The Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John (oil on wood)
BI88609 The Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John (oil on wood) by Sarto, Andrea del (1486-1530) (after); 55.3x39 cm; The Henry Barber Trust, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham; (add.info.: copy of a lost fresco; painted for Porta a Pinti
The Virgin is seated on a rocky bank. She wears a rose coloured dress and over her head is a light purple mantle; on her shoulders rests a pale green scarf, and a deep purple cloak lies in her lap. She supports the Child with both arms. Behind and to the right is the infant Saint John who is laughing; he wears a loin-cloth and holds a cross. In the background to the right is a building, and on a high wall to the left stand two doves.This is a copy of a fresco which Andrea del Sarto painted for an outdoor tabernacle just outside the Porta a Pinti in Florence, on a corner leading to the Church of the Gesuati (San Giusto alle Mura). The fresco was painted around 1520 and was about two metres high with a rounded top. This copy in oil is therefore much reduced. The original painting was situated above eye level, which explains why the holy figures look down at us. The outdoor setting meant that the fresco was reduced to a ruinous condition by the 19th century, leaving this work as an important record.); eBarber Institute of Fine Arts; eThe Henry Barber Trust, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham; Italian, out of copyright

The Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Andrea del Sarto that beautifully captures the essence of maternal love and innocence. In this print, we see the Virgin Mary seated on a rocky bank, adorned in a rose-colored dress and a light purple mantle over her head. Her gentle expression radiates warmth as she cradles the Christ child in her arms. Beside them stands the infant Saint John, depicted with joyous laughter and wearing only a loin-cloth. He holds a cross symbolizing his future role as the precursor to Jesus Christ. The background reveals an architectural structure to the right, while two doves perch on a high wall to the left. This particular print is an important record of del Sarto's original fresco, which was painted for an outdoor tabernacle near Florence's Porta a Pinti in 1520. The reduced size of this copy in oil allows us to appreciate intricate details that may have been missed when viewing it from below eye level. The original fresco suffered significant deterioration over time due to its exposure to outdoor elements, leaving behind ruins by the 19th century. Thus, this print serves as both homage and preservation of del Sarto's masterpiece for generations to come. (Photo credit: Bridgeman Images)
