Andrea Solario, born in Milan, apparently was trained by his brother Cristoforo, a sculptor, whom he accompanied to Venice in the late 1480s. There, Andrea was deeply influenced by Antonello da Messina and Giovanni Bellini. The two brothers returned to Milan in the mid-1490s. From 1507 to 1510 Andrea worked in France at the Château de Gaillon; his frescoes there have been destroyed. Returning once more to Milan, he gradually came under the influence of Leonardo. As Freedberg writes – His structural sense persisted through the accumulation of realist experience, and when, again in Milan, Andrea began in the late years of the first decade to reshape his style on Leonardo's, he was equipped to understand it not just in its apparent sense of consummate description but in its working of design. Comprehending principle, it was unnecessary for him to produce mere literal imitation.
