Presents exciting, original conclusions about Leonardo da Vinci's
early life as an artist and amplifies his role in Andrea del
Verrocchio's studio This groundbreaking reexamination of the
beginnings of Leonardo da Vinci's (1452-1519) 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 (1435-1488). Anchoring this analysis are important
yet often overlooked considerations about Verrocchio's
studio-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 artist's hand among the tempera works from
Verrocchio's studio and proposes new criteria for judging
Verrocchio'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
(1457/59-1536) may now be seen as collaborations with Leonardo
sometime before his departure from Florence in 1482/83. In addition
to Laurence Kanter's detailed arguments, the book features three
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 Gallery
