Description

This book explores the lesser-known paintings of Bernardino Luini, an artist influenced by Leonardo da Vinci. Through a comparative analysis of Luini's works from the 1520s, it reveals how he incorporated elements of Leonardo's style and expression.

Luini's approach to art was distinct from his intellectual counterpart, yet his works demonstrate a coherent and consistent thinking that effectively communicates their devotional purpose. By examining these paintings, we gain insight into how ordinary viewers responded to religious art in the Renaissance period.

This book offers a nuanced understanding of the relationship between Leonardo da Vinci and Bernardino Luini, one that accounts for Luini's often-criticized lack of originality compared to his older master.
