Passing from the Sala di Botticelli through the Sala di Lorenzo Monaco and the first Tuscan rooms to the corridor, we come to the second Tuscan room, which is dominated by Andrea del Sarto (1486-1531), whose "Madonna and Child," with "S.
Francis and S.John the Evangelist"-- No.
112--is certainly the favourite picture here, as it is, in reproduction, in so many homes; but, apart from the Child, I like far better the "S.
Giacomo"-- No.
1254--so sympathetic and rich in colour, which is reproduced in this volume.
