"Giovanni Agostino da Lodi's signature on a painting in Milan and on a drawing sold at Sotheby's in New York in 1986 were the first clues to rediscovering this important participant in Lombard art. With these two firm documents, scholars have recently reconstructed this artist's life and work from paintings previously attributed to an artist known as Pseudo-Boccaccino, or Boccaccio Boccaccino of Cremona. A 1504 receipt for payment to Lodi suggests that he may have lived in Venice for a time, and his many surviving paintings around Venice add evidence to this theory. After returning to Lombardy, he painted numerous works there. Giovanni Agostino da Lodi was also an outstanding draftsman. His red chalk studies of heads, often mistaken for works by Leonardo da Vinci, constitute most of his surviving drawings. Active in Lombardy and the Veneto, Lodi assimilated Leonardo's Milanese manner, along with Venetian colorism and Albrecht Dürer's Northern European art."
