Description: | Originally this work was attributed to Giampietrino, a 16th century painter whose name (Gian Pietro Rizzi or Giovanni Pedrini) has been connected with a group of works dated between 1520-1540. His paintings show a strong Leonardesque character and he is said to have been Leonardo's only pupil as the latter mentions his name in his manuscripts. This attribution was refuted and changed into 17th century Lombard by Buchanan in 1970. However, stylistically and technically a 16th century attribution to a 'Leonardesque' artist such as, for example, the Lombard painter Bernardino Luini (active 1512, died 1532), seems more appropriate. | Subjects: | religion (Holy Family); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Luini, Bernardino (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1480-ca. 1532) Æ Attributed to manner of Attributed to Italian (Lombard) School Previously attributed to circle of Giampietrino (Italian artist, active ca. 1520 - 1540) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8797... | Go to resource |
