 SparkNotes: Robert Browning's Poetry: "Andrea del Sarto"
Andrea del Sarto, like Fra Lippo Lippi, lived and worked in Florence, albeit a little later than Lippo, and was later appointed court painter by Francis, the King of France.
Andrea now finds himself in the twilight of his career and his marriage: Lucrezia's "Cousin"--probably her lover--keeps whistling for her to come; she apparently either owes the man gambling debts or has promised to cover his own.
Andrea blames his disappointing career on his inability to match his unparalleled technical skills with appropriate subject matter: all the Virgins he paints look like his wife, and he has never had the time at court to allow his work to blossom.

 Amazon.com: Andrea del Sarto: Books: Antonio Natali,Andrea Del Sarto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Natali sets his vision of the artist against the traditional view, begun by Vasari, that del Sarto was a timid soul who wasted his talent.
Instead, he shows del Sarto to have chosen a path that he rigorously followed in light of his humility and in a circle of like-minded friends and fellow artists.
Not a catalogue raisonn?e (Natali defers to Sydney J. Freedberg's Andrea del Sarto, 1963, and John Shearman's Andrea del Sarto, 1965, as essentially complete catalogs), this book is rather a meditation based on a close reading of the artist's environment and a close look at the pictures.

 RPO -- Robert Browning : Andrea del Sarto
Andrea (1486-1531) was the son of a tailor in Florence; hence the name "del Sarto." From 1509-14, having served his apprenticeship and learned his craft, he was engaged to do a series of frescoes for the Church of the Annunciation in Florence, and then to do another series for the Church of the Recollets.
In 1518, Andrea was invited by Francis I of France to come to the court at Fontainebleau.
The accuracy of Browning's poem as biography or as art criticism is, however, of doubtful relevance to its success or to its meaning.

Katie Legg thinks that the arm Andrea refers to may be the left arm of the Christ child in the Louvre's Madonna "La Belle Jardinière." The elbow appears to point up, and the arm to be unnaturally twisted.
Moreover, this Madonna is found in the Uffizi's "Raphael and Andrea del Sarto Room," so that if Browning was looking at paintings by Andrea del Sarto, he would naturally have seen this one as well.

In some ways, this was the most difficult period to find a "representative" poem for, for a number of reasons:
like many of Browning's characters, Del Sarto is a Renaissance figure, in this case from Florence--in part what Browning does is represent a Italian Renaissance worldview which is to some degree different from the British Victorian worldview.
This poem is an exploration of a perspective, in other words, as I've said.
