Italian painter (c. 1480/82–1532)
Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82 – June 1532) was a north Italianpainter from Leonardo's circle during the High Renaissance.
Both Luini and Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio were said to have worked with Leonardo directly; he was described as having taken "as much from Leonardo as his native roots enabled him to comprehend".[1] 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.[2]
