Leonardo da Vincis Ruf als Erfinder und Wissenschaftler hat manchmal fast die Bedeutung seiner Ziele und Techniken als Maler überschattet. Dieser Katalog konzentriert sich auf eine entscheidende Phase in den 1480er und 1490er Jahren, als Leonardo, als angestellter Hofkünstler von Herzog Ludovico Sforza im Stadtstaat Mailand, befreit von den Zwängen, seinen Lebensunterhalt in der kommerziell ausgerichteten florentinischen Republik zu verdienen, einige seiner gefeiertsten und einflussreichsten Werke schuf. "Das letzte Abendmahl", seine beiden Versionen der "Felsgrottenmadonna"und das wunderschöne Porträt von Ludovicos Geliebter, Cecilia Gallerani (Dame mit dem Hermelin), waren Gemälde, die einen neuen Standard für seine mailändischen Zeitgenossen setzten. Leonardos Stil wurde durch Zusammenarbeit und Nachahmung zum visuellen Vokabular des Regimes, und bis zu seiner Rückkehr nach Florenz im Jahr 1500 war sein Status völlig verwandelt.

Leonardo da Vinci's reputation as an inventor and scientist, and the complexity of his creativity and personality, have sometimes almost overshadowed the importance of his aims and techniques as a painter. This catalogue focuses on a crucial period in the 148os and 149os when, as a salaried court artist to Duke Ludovico Sforza in the city-state of Milan, freed from the pressures of making a living in the commercially minded Florentine republic, Leonardo produced some of the most celebrated - and influential - work of his career. The Last Supper, his two versions of The Virgin of the Rocks, and the beautiful portrait of Ludovico's mistress, Cecilia Gallerani (The Lady with an Ermine), were paintings that set a new standard for his Milanese contemporaries. Leonardo's style was magnified, through collaboration and imitation, to become the visual language of the regime, and by the time of his return to Florence in 1500 his status was utterly transformed.
