Philip Benitstsi in the yard of the Church of Santissima Annunziata in Florence, written in 1509-1510. In these frescoes obvious departure from the tradition of painting Quattrocento, but they almost do not show the style of Andrea del Sarto, although performed quite professionally. After four years of work, . study of drawings by Michelangelo and, . probably, . paintings of Raphael in Rome, the creative possibilities of the artist expanded significantly, in the fresco Nativity of the Virgin (1514), . kluatre written in the same church, . appear latitude of interpretation and emotional expressiveness,
. In 1517 Andrea del Sarto married Lucrezia del Fede and in the same year wrote his famous Madonna with the harpy (1517, Florence, Uffizi Gallery). The model for the painting, like many other of his works, perhaps served as Lucretia. French King Francis I, seeks to attract to his court famous Italian artists, in 1518, invited by Andrea del Sarto in France because he was considered the best painter in Florence. In Paris, he painted Charity (Louvre), and soon returned to Florence. Here in 1519 by Andrea del Sarto began work on the fresco The Last Supper in the convent of San Salvi.
