Bernardino Luini
Bernardino Luini (born before September 1482 in Runo, Dumenza municipality near Luino on the east bank of Lake Maggiore ; died July 1, 1532 in Milan ) was an Italian painter.
life and work
Luini worked as a painter in Lombardy from around 1505 and was significantly influenced by the Lombard School, the work of Raphael , Melozzo da Forlì and Leonardo da Vinci . He took up Leonardo's inventions in order to process them into his own images. His Salome with the head of John the Baptist ( Uffizi ) is based on Leonardo's La Scapigliata (Parma) and his Holy Family with the young John ( Prado ) gives us a very clear idea of Leonardo's lost original drawing of children kissing each other.
The earliest known, albeit controversial, work by Luini is Madonna with the Child and Two Saints from 1507, which is now exhibited in the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris .
His Madonna della Buonanotte is also located in the Chiaravalle Milanese monastery : after the evening prayer in the church, the monks passed this picture on their way to their cells and wished them good night.
In later years Luini was mainly employed as a fresco painter. The crucifixion in the church of Santa Maria degli Angioli in Lugano and the small crucifixion in the church of San Nazario in Dino , a fraction of the municipality of Sonvico, are famous .
