The shield, mentioned by Vasari, p. 26, as painted by him at the request of his father, and consisting of serpents, &c.
A head of Medusa, in oil, in the palace of Duke Cosmo. It is still in being, and in good preservation [i159].
A head of an angel raising one arm in the air, in the collection of Duke Cosmo[i160]. Whether this is a picture, or only a drawing, does not appear; but as Vasari does not notice any difference between that and the head of Medusa, which he decidedly says is in oil, it is probable that this is so also.
The Adoration of the Magi: it was in the house of Americo Benci, opposite to the Portico of Peruzzi[i161].
The famous Last Supper, in the Refectory of the Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie[i162]. A list of the copies made from this celebrated picture has, together with its history, been given in a former page. A print has been engraven from it under the direction of Pietro Soutman; but he being a scholar of Rubens, has introduced into it so much of Rubens’s manner[i163], that it can no longer be known for Leonardo da Vinci’s. Besides this, Mariette also mentions two other prints, one of them an engraving, the other an etching, but both by unknown authors. He notices also, that the Count di Caylus had etched it in aqua fortis[i164]. The print lately engraven of it by Morghen has been already noticed in a former page.
A Nativity, sent as a present from the Duke of Milan to the Emperor[i165].
The portraits of Lodovic Sforza, Duke of Milan, and Maximilian his eldest son, and on the other side Beatrix his dutchess, and Francesco his other son, all in one picture, in the same Refectory with the Last Supper[i166].
The portraits of two of the handsomest women at Florence, painted by him as a present to Lewis XII [i167].
The painting in the council-chamber at Florence[i168]. The subject of this is the battle of Attila [i169].
A portrait of Ginevra, daughter of Americo Benci[i170].
