Madonna of the Harpies is an altarpiece in oils by Andrea del Sarto, a major painter of the High Renaissance. It was commissioned in 1515 and was signed and dated by the artist in 1517 in the inscription on the pedestal; it is now in the Uffizi in Florence. It was praised by Giorgio Vasari, and is arguably the artist's best-known work.

Andrea del Sarto was an Italian painter from Florence, whose career flourished during the High Renaissance and early Mannerism. He was known as an outstanding fresco decorator, painter of altarpieces, portraitist, draughtsman, and colorist. Although highly regarded during his lifetime as an artist senza errori ("without errors"), his renown was eclipsed after his death by that of his contemporaries Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.

Sacrifice of Isaac is a work by the Italian Renaissance painter Andrea del Sarto, existing in three versions at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden (213 x 159 cm; 1527 to 1529), the Cleveland Museum of Art (178 x 138 cm) and the Museo del Prado (98 x 69 cm; c.1527 to 1530). The Dresden version was commissioned in 1527 by Giovanni Battista Della Palla as a gift for Francis I of France, who around ten years earlier had hosted the artist at the Palace of Fontainebleau. Della Palla was imprisoned before the work could be completed and just before the artist's death, after which three versions were made, as recorded in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists, with different dimensions and levels of finish.
