Andrea del Sarto's title in Browning's eyes should be considered "the impeccable painter". For del Sarto, capturing something beautiful is worth almost anything. But del Sarto finds himself stuck between two identities: that of a husband to his wife and that of an artist to his patrons. Andrea del Sarto recognizes that his work as a painter often takes him away from his wife, but he also recognizes that his love for his wife has reduced his ability to paint subjects as they are. Of course, del Sarto himself only presents his side of the story, that of a man trying to support his wife in her work; it would be interesting to see Lucrezia's side of the story. What's fascinating is that Del Sarto's worldview and explanation of his life, the story of his existence, appears to be completely sincere, but it is also in many ways deeply contradictory: resentful and of love, taking responsibility and passing on responsibility. In this sense, del Sarto's monologue is clearly a sincere view of the world, but it is precisely the kind of view a real person has: full of inaccuracies and competing self-images. One of the crucial clues to the meaning of the poem is the superlative that Andrea del Sarto earned: “Impeccable painter”. Del Sarto interpreted this view of himself to mean that he managed to be technically perfect but emotionally limited, but this superlative does not seem to simply denote an impeccable technician. Del Sarto has apparently gained some notoriety during his life, but he is still not satisfied with his work. In Del Sarto's worldview, his wife ensured that he was only technically competent, not emotionally competent. But it's clear that Del Sarto is actually deeply emotional...... middle of paper...... a loving husband and a strong man. Unfortunately, his real world is not perfect, so he finds himself only an impeccable but not exceptional painter, a husband married to a woman who spends his money, and a man incapable of standing up to his wife. There is no denying that Del Sarto honestly believes all of these things. The fact that his beliefs are based on mutually contradictory elements does not change the fact that it is clearly a statement of one man's worldview. Browning gives us the image of a man walking through his own self-image and invites the reader to share the uncertainty regarding del Sarto. Without ever hearing from others, such as his peers, his clients and his wife, it is impossible to know the truth; the only thing we can know is what del Sarto thought and what his worldview was, and that is enough to understand the man and his art..
