Andrea del Sarto (1486–1530) was an Italian Renaissance painter born in Florence, Italy. He is regarded as one of the leading artists of the High Renaissance, admired for his exceptional use of color, balance, and composition. His birth name was Andrea d'Agnolo, but he became known as "del Sarto," meaning "the tailor's son," because his father was a tailor. He trained under the painter Piero di Cosimo and later developed a refined artistic style influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo. Throughout his career, Andrea created numerous frescoes, altarpieces, and portraits for churches and wealthy patrons. His calm, harmonious figures and technical perfection earned him great respect among his contemporaries. Although he was overshadowed by some of the more famous Renaissance masters, his work had a lasting influence on later generations of artists. Today, Andrea del Sarto is remembered as one of Florence's greatest painters and an important figure in the history of Renaissance art.
