Saint John the Baptist as a Boy is an oil on panel painting by Andrea del Sarto, executed c. 1525, now in the Palatine Gallery of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence.[1]
Vasari's Lives of the Artists mentions two works by Andrea del Sarto showing half-length figures of John the Baptist as a boy. This is the first of the two, produced for Giovan Maria Benintendi.[2][3][4] The second was intended for the Grand Master of France, but was later sold to Ottaviano de' Medici instead and may be the one now in the Worcester Art Museum.
The Palatine Gallery work was the central one in the decoration of the antechamber in the Palazzo Benintendi. The other works in the antechamber were Pontormo's Adoration of the Magi, Franciabigio's Bathsheba Bathing (Gemäldegalerie, Dresden) and Bacchiacca's Legend of the Dead King's Son (Gemäldegalerie, Dresden) and Baptism of Christ (Gemäldegalerie, Berlin).[5]
The work was later given to Cosimo I by Giovanni Maria Benintendi. It is recorded as hanging in the Guardaroba Medicea in 1553, along with its donor's name. It appears in a Medici inventory of 1589 and hung in the Palatine Gallery's Jupiter room from at least 1828 and possibly earlier.[6]

San Juan Bautista (conocido también como San Giovannino, literalmente San Juanito) es un óleo sobre tabla (94x68 cm) del pintor manierista italiano Andrea del Sarto.

Saint Jean Baptiste (en italien San Giovannino soit le jeune saint Jean), est un tableau peint par Andrea del Sarto vers 1523. Il est conservé à la Galerie Palatine à Florence. Face au modèle de grandeur convulsée et prébaroque fourni par Giulio Romano, un premier réajustement se produit d’abord chez Andrea del Sarto (1486-1531), par exemple, exprimant dans ses peintures le maniérisme, style de la Renaissance. Loin d'être le mièvre artiste cher a une certaine imagerie romantique, le maitre florentin, quoique sensible à l'inquiétude maniériste, apparaît en sa maturité un classique, aussi robuste que raffiné.[it] San Giovannino (Andrea del Sarto)
San Giovannino è un dipinto a olio su tavola (94x68 cm) di Andrea del Sarto, databile al 1523 circa e conservato nella Galleria Palatina di Firenze.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
