Andrea Solari (also known as Andrea Solario) was born around 1460 in Milan, the younger brother of the sculptor Cristoforo Solari. He trained in the Milanese painting tradition and came under the profound influence of Leonardo da Vinci, who was active in Milan from 1482. Solari became one of the most accomplished followers of Leonardo, developing a style that combined the master's sfumato technique with a distinctive warmth and intimacy.
