Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530)

• Was an Italian painter.
• Andrea del Sarto was born Andrea d'Agnolo di Francesco di Luca in Florence on 16 July 1486.
• Since his father, Agnolo, was a tailor (Italian: sarto), he became known as "del Sarto" (meaning "tailor's son").
• Since 1677 some have attributed the surname Vannucchi with little documentation.
• By 1494, Andrea was apprenticed to a goldsmith, and then to a woodcarver and painter named Gian Barile, with whom he remained until 1498.
• According to his late biographer Vasari, he then apprenticed to Piero di Cosimo, and later with Raffaellino del Garbo (Carli).
