LUINI, Bernardino (b. 1480, Luino, d. 1532, Milano) Herodias 1527-31 Tempera on panel, 51 x 58 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence Until 1793 the painting was attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. Then it was recognised as the work of his Lombardian follower, Luini. The absence of biographical information on this painter makes a reconstruction of his cultural background somewhat difficult, although his airy perspective constructions would certainly suggest a link with the Venetian school. Luini was a prolific artist of easel paintings, mostly of religious subjects, with which - as this Herodias reveals - he arrived at a type of classicising painting, rich in chiaroscural intensity, the prelude to an almost North European-style pathos. The painting was restored in 1977. --- Keywords: -------------- Author: LUINI, Bernardino Title: Herodias Time-line: 1501-1550 School: Italian Form: painting Type: mythological
