The influence of Leonardo was strongly felt in Milan, where he spent so many
of the best years of his life and founded a School of painting. He was a close
observer of the gradation and reflex of light,

discoveries a practical and aesthetic form. His strong personal character and
the fascination of his genius enthralled his followers, who were satisfied to
repeat his types, to perpetuate the "grey-hound eye," and to make use of his
little devices. Among this group of painters may be mentioned Boltraffio, who
perhaps painted the "Presumed Portrait of Lucrezia Crivelli" (Plate VII.), which
is officially attributed in the Louvre to the great master himself.

Signor Uzielli has shown that one Tommaso da Vinci, a descendant of Domenico
(one of Leonardo's brothers), was a few years ago a peasant at Bottinacio near
Montespertoli, and had then in his possession the family papers, which now form
part of the archives of the Accademia dei Lincei at Rome. It was proved also
that Tommaso had given his eldest son "the glorious name of Leonardo."
