SOLARIO, Andrea (b. ca. 1460, Milano, d. 1525, Pavia) |
Lamentation over the Dead Christc. 1509Oil on wood, 178 x 163 cm Musée du Louvre, Paris | |
Solari studied the art of Leonardo in depth, retaining some of the master's motifs and the sweetness of his expressions. The attitude of St John in this Lamentation is a tribute to the archangel of Leonardo's Virgin of the Rocks. |
