All Saints Church ‘Finds’ Long-Lost Italian Painting

The article, written by Peter P. Donker of the Telegram Staff, reports on the rediscovery of a significant 16th-century Italian Renaissance painting, “St. John the Baptist” by Andrea del Sarto, which had been misplaced for over a century. The artwork was found at All Saints Episcopal Church in Worcester and had been displayed in the church’s sanctuary for years.

Accompanying the text is a rectangular, black-and-white photograph of the painting itself. The photograph shows a portrait-style image of a young man with curly hair, presumably St. John the Baptist, rendered in a classical Renaissance style.

The article details the history of the painting's ownership and misattribution, explaining how it was donated to the church in 1901 and later mislabeled as the work of a lesser-known artist. Through research, X-ray examination, and expert analysis by conservator Norman E. Muller and art historian Sydney J. Freedberg, the painting was confirmed to be an original, high-quality work by Andrea del Sarto — “a favorite subject for Renaissance artists.” The article notes that the painting will be loaned to the Worcester Art Museum for public viewing.
