Exhibition Dates: October 14, 2015-January 10, 2016

Exhibition Location: European Paintings, Gallery 624, 2nd floor

Andrea del Sarto's Borgherini Holy Family, a focused exhibition that will present new findings on the Metropolitan Museum's Holy Family with the Young Saint John the Baptist, one of the Museum's greatest works of the Italian Renaissance, will open on October 14, 2015. That painting will be shown alongsideCharity (before 1530), a closely related panel by the artist that will be on loan from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. The exhibition will allow visitors to follow the artist's approach as he moved from drawings on paper to the preparatory underdrawings on the panels, and then to the final paintings, emphasizing the crucial role of drawings and cartoons in his workshop. Other related works, including aMadonna and Child panel by Andrea del Sarto from a private collection, will also be on view. The exhibition will complement Andrea del Sarto: The Renaissance Workshop in Action, a more extensive exhibition surveying the artist's work, currently on view at The Frick Collection.

Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530) was one of the most influential artists active in Florence in the first decades of the 16th century. He painted the grand Holy Family with the Young Saint John the Baptist around 1528 for Giovanni Borgherini, who was prominent during the city's tumultuous, brief-lived Republic, before the Medici family re-established their rule. The imagery of Christ sharing the orb with his cousin Saint John the Baptist, Florence's patron saint, was symbolic for the Republican government. Recent technical examination and conservation of the painting has revealed the masterful underdrawing of the figures and the brilliant, sumptuous color that led Sarto to be known as "the painter without defects." The exhibition will examine Sarto's decision to adapt this composition for a second painting, Charity. That painting, to be displayed in the Met exhibition with Holy Family with the Young Saint John the Baptist, was likely meant as an important gift for Francis I, the French king.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
