Description: Presents exciting, original conclusions about Leonardo da VinciA?s early life as an artist and amplifies his role in Andrea del VerrocchioA?s studio This groundbreaking reexamination of the beginnings of Leonardo da VinciA?s (1452A?1519) life as an artist suggests new candidates for his earliest surviving work and revises our understanding of his role in the studio of his teacher, Andrea del Verrocchio (1435A?1488). Anchoring this analysis are important yet often overlooked considerations aboutA‚ VerrocchioA?s studioA?specifically, the collaborative nature of most works that emerged from it and the probability that Leonardo must initially have learned to paint in tempera, as his teacher did. The book searches for the young artistA?s hand among the tempera worksA‚ fromA‚ VerrocchioA?sA‚ studio and proposes new criteria for judging VerrocchioA?s own painting style. Several paintings are identified here as likely the work of Leonardo, and others long considered works by Verrocchio or his assistant Lorenzo di Credi (1457/59A?1536)A‚ may now be seen as collaborations with Leonardo sometime before his departure from Florence in 1482/83. In addition to Laurence KanterA?s detailed arguments, the book features threeA‚ essays presenting recent scientific analysis and imaging that support the new attributions of paintings, or parts of paintings, to Leonardo.Distributed for the Yale University Art GalleryExhibition Schedule:Yale University Art Gallery (06/29/18A?10/07/18)
