Read about The Frick Collection's ongoing Andrea del Sarto exhibition via our recent blog post. "Behind every adoring saint, serene madonna, and chubby Christ child depicted in so many Italian Renaissance altarpieces, there are surely flesh and blood people, the assistants, lovers, and children of the artist pressed into service as models. Likewise, many drawings surely stand behind each highly finished painting, as the artist captured his models in various poses and moods, seeking the best arrangements for each completed work. The Frick Collection’s current exhibition of works by the Renaissance master Andrea del Sarto, entitled "Andrea del Sarto: The Renaissance Workshop in Action", offers a rare chance to explore the drawn sources of this artist’s paintings. The exhibition is on view through January 10, 2016."-by Rachel Schwartz, Curatorial Intern
