Leonardeschi
The Leonardeschi were the large group of artists who worked in the studio of, or under the influence of, Leonardo da Vinci. They were artists of Italian Renaissance painting, although his influence extended to many countries within Europe. As a teenager, Leonardo was enrolled as an apprentice in the studio of Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence by his father, Ser Piero di Antonio di Ser Piero di Ser Guido da Vinci, a wealthy notary. In 1472, Leonardo joined the Guild of St Luke and eventually, he qualified as a master by this important guild. Leonardo left the studio of del Verrocchio in late 1477 as an independent artist, working on commissions. Leonardo continued to live in the same quarters as del Verrocchio, however, and they collaborated on some projects. Leonardo's father enabled him to set up his own studio. In 1482, Leonardo visited Milan where he stayed with Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis, Evangelista de Predis, and their four brothers, all of whom were artists of different ki ...

Virgin Of The Rocks
The ''Virgin of the Rocks'' (), sometimes the ''Madonna of the Rocks'', is the name of two paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, of the same subject, with a composition which is identical except for several significant details. The version generally considered the prime version, the earlier of the two, is unrestored and hangs in the Louvre in Paris.

The works are often known as the Louvre ''Virgin of the Rocks'' and London ''Virgin of the Rocks'' respectively. The paintings are both nearly 2 metres (over 6 feet) high and are painted in oils.

Cesare Magni
220px, ''The Holy Family with St Elizabeth and St John the Baptist'' by Cesare Magni, Attingham Park, Shropshire Cesare Magni or Magno (14951534) was an Italian painter of the Leonardeschi school. He was born and died in Milan, and was an illegitimate son of Francesco Magni, a member of a well-known family of that city. In 2025 the Italian art magazine '' Artribune'' published an article in which it is hypothesized that a small chapel near Milan, San Galdino in Zelo Surrigone, built within 1518, may have been Cesare Magni's first work. Proof of that could be the Magni coat of arms painted in the frescoed vault.

Giampietrino
Giampietrino, probably Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli (active 1495–1549), was a north Italian painter of the Lombard school and Leonardo's circle, succinctly characterized by S. J. Freedberg as an "exploiter of Leonardo's repertory."Freedberg, 1993:383. Biography Giampietrino was a productive painter of large altarpieces, Madonnas, holy women in half figure, and mythological women. For a long time, the true identity of the artist was unknown; he was only known as a so-called "Giampietrino" whose name appeared in lists of the members of Leonardo's studio. In 1929, Wilhelm Suida suggested that he could perhaps be Giovanni Battista Belmonte, since a Madonna signed with this name and dated 1509 had been associated stylistically with Giampietrino. Since then, this assumption is considered outdated, and Giampietrino is identified predominantly with Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli, who is known through documents. Giampietrino has been regarded as a talented painter who contributed substantial ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
