- Andrea del Sarto: The Renaissance Workshop in ActionJune 23–September 13, 2015
This major loan exhibition celebrates the transformation of the art of drawing by Andrea del Sarto (1486–1530), one of the greatest Florentine Renaissance artists. Moving beyond the graceful harmony and elegance of his elders and peers, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Fra Bartolommeo, Sarto brought unprecedented realism and immediacy to his art through the rough and rustic use of red chalk and the creation of powerful life and compositional studies. Comprising rare drawings and panel paintings from key international collections, the exhibition fully illuminates Andrea del Sarto's inventiveness, creative process, and workshop practice.
The exhibition was co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Frick Collection, New York.

Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance
In the early 1300s, creativity was flourishing in Florence at a time of
unprecedented prosperity, urban expansion, and intellectual innovation. The
Renaissance was awakening. In this dynamic climate, master painter Giotto di
Bondone revolutionized painting with a new, more naturalistic approach to the
human form.
