Madonna of the Harpies (Italian: Madonna delle Arpie) is a 1517 painting by Andrea del Sarto, considered his major contribution to High Renaissance art.[1]
It is a depiction of the Virgin Mary and child on a pedestal, flanked by angels and two saints (Saint Bonaventure or Francis, and John the Evangelist). Originally completed in 1517 for the convent of San Francesco dei Macci, the altarpiece now resides in the Uffizi. The figures have a Leonardo-like aura, with a pyramid shaped composition.[2]
The main character in the Kürk Mantolu Madonna (Madonna With A Fur Coat), a novel written by Turkish writer Sabahattin Ali, is a depiction of the Virgin Mary in Madonna of the Harpies.
