Charity

Andrea del Sarto rendered this allegorical figure of Charity with the classical grace that earned him the title "the faultless painter." A woman nurtures children, embodying the virtue of selfless love.

Andrea del Sarto was a leading Florentine painter of the High Renaissance, admired for harmonious composition and refined technique. His work influenced later painters including his pupil Pontormo. The painting hangs at the Louvre in Paris.
