‘Painter at the Court of Milan’ is the most complete exhibition of Leonardo Da Vinci’s rare surviving paintings ever shown.
Held at the British National Gallery, this features the Renaissance artist’s development as a painter in the late-15th century.
In particular it concentrates on the work he produced as court painter to Duke Lodovico Sforza in Milan in the late 1480s and 1490s.
Works on display include La BelleFerronière’ (Louvre, Paris), the Madonna Litta (Hermitage, St Petersburg) and Saint Jerome (Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome), as well as the National Gallery’s own recently restored Virgin of the Rocks.
In fact, the two versions of Virgin of the Rocks – the other belonging to the Louvre – will be shown together for the first time.
