Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82 – June 1532) was a North Italian painter from Leonardo's circle. Both Luini and Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio were said to have worked with Leonardo directly; he was described to have taken "as much from Leonardo as his native roots enabled him to comprehend".〔Freedberg, 1993, p. 390.〕 Consequently, many of his works were attributed to Leonardo. He was known especially for his graceful female figures with elongated eyes, called Luinesque by Vladimir Nabokov.〔"Luinesque eyes... God, how I kissed them..." ("La Veneziana", 1924).〕 ==Biography== Luini was born as Bernardino de Scapis in Runo, a ''frazione'' of Dumenza, near Lake Maggiore. Details of his life are scant. In 1500 he moved to Milan with his father. According to Lomazzo, he trained under Giovan Stefano Scotto, although for others he was a pupil of Ambrogio Bergognone. In 1504-1507 he was probably in Treviso, as attested by a ''Madonna with Child'' signed ''Bernardinus Mediolanensis faciebat'' which is however of disputed attribution. His first fresco works are an ''Adoration of the Magi'' in San Pietro of Luino (c. 1505) and the attributed fresco in the presbytery of Monza Cathedral with ''St. Gerard of the Painters''. Luini returned in Milan in 1509, receiving a commission for a polyptych from which today remains a ''St. Anthony of Padua'' in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli, influenced by Bernardino Zenale's ''Cantù Polyptych''. In the 1510s he painted frescoes in the Oratory of Santa Maria Nuova in Pilastrello, a ''Lamentation of the dead Christ'' in Santa Maria della Passione, a ''Madonna della Buonanotte'' in the Abbey of Chiaravalle, frescoes in San Giorgio di Palazzo (1516) and in the Certosa di Pavia, and others. From 1509 - 1514 Luini completed the frescoes for ''Villa Pelucca'' in Sesto San Giovanni (now in the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan). One of his best known works, they were commissioned by Girolamo Rabia, for whom he also painted mythological scenes in the Palazzo Rabia (now in the Berlin Gemäldegalerie and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.). In 1521 he travelled to Rome, where he was influenced by Raphael's style. This is evident in Luini's further frescoes in the Villa La Pelucca executed in 1520-1523, as well as in other works now at Brera. In 1523, Luini painted a polyptych depicting the ''Entrhroned Madonna and Child surrounded by Angels with Musical Instruments'', and surmounted by ''God the Father'', found in the Basilica of San Magno, Legnano. Circa 1525 he completed a series of frescoes on the life of the Virgin and Christ for the sanctuary of ''Santa Maria dei Miracoli'' in Saronno; to the same year is attributed the fresco in the counterfaçade of Sant'Abbondio in Como. While at Saronno, he discovered amaretto. Other works from his middle period include a ''Holy Family'' in the Museo del Prado, two ''Salome'' in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Uffizi and a ''Portrait of Lady'' in the National Gallery of Art. From 1526 is a ''Virgin with Child and Saints'' in the Lee Fareham collection of Richmond. In 1529 Luini completed one of his masterworks, the grand ''Passion and Crucifixion'' fresco at Santa Maria degli Angeli in Lugano, paired by other works in the same church. In 1531 he returned to the Saronno sanctuary to add other frescoes. In his later career Luini was increasingly influenced by Leonardo, as showed by the ''St. Anne'' of the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and the ''St. Catherine'' of the Hermitage. He died in Milan. His son Aurelio was also an accomplished painter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernardino Luini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
