Synopsis

Andrea del Sarto's 1514 painting The Holy Family with St. Elizabeth, St. John the Baptist and two angels counts as one of the masterpieces of Italian painting in Munich's Alte Pinakothek. Her art, at the threshold between High Renaissance and Mannerism, is the focus of a special exhibition, and is extensively documented in this publication.

For nearly 20 years, the painting was withdrawn from public viewing as its poor state required extensive restorations. To mark its return to the gallery in Munich from the collection of the Elector Johann Wilhelm in Dusseldorf, the painting is presented together with del Sarto's second version of the theme, currently in the possession of the Louvre. This results in the first opportunity to analyze the relationships between the two works side by side.

This catalog documents and analyzes the art historical research and the results of detailed investigation of both paintings. German text.
