Standing Man, after del Sarto

Edouard Manet French

ca. 1853–57

Not on view

Manet made several copies after works by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea del Sarto during his visits to Florence in 1853 and 1857. This highly stylized figure, quickly drawn in red chalk, comes from del Sarto’s fresco Journey of the Magi (1511), in the church of Santissima Annunziata. In his drawn copies, Manet almost always extracted figures from a larger composition. His use of red chalk, highly unusual in France at the time, suggests a desire to join a grand tradition.
