Abstract

For a long time Leonardo was considered a "chiaroscurista" painter and his works were compared to those by Rembrandt. Recent restorations of his works show how he used colours and his ability to mix light and shade in obtaining more than "Chiaroscuro" subtle effects of "sfumato" in his last paintings.
