The artwork, titled “Madonna del Sacco,” was created by the artist Andrea del Sarto in 1525. This fresco is a prominent example of the High Renaissance art movement and falls under the genre of religious painting. The dimensions of this work are 191 by 403 centimeters.
In the artwork, the central figures are the Madonna and Child, depicted with a serene and nurturing expression. The Madonna, clothed in vibrant, flowing garments, holds the infant Jesus close to her, encapsulating a moment of tender maternity. To the left, another figure, possibly Saint Joseph, is shown reading a book, adding a sense of contemplation and wisdom to the scene. The background features a simple architectural setting, which emphasizes the divinity and importance of the human figures. The overall composition and use of soft, harmonious colors highlight the delicate yet powerful representation typical of High Renaissance frescoes.
