Nowadays Verrocchio is not one of the artists that first come to mind when the subject is the Italian Renaissance. However, when one realizes that Leonardo da Vinci — the “Renaissance Man” himself! — was his pupil and assistant for 10 years, curiosity arises and warrants further exploring Verrocchio’s own legacy.
Contemporary documents and sources make it clear that during his time he was a painter of considerable standing. His patrons included the powerful Medici family, and his pupils and assistants included future masters such as Ghirlandaio, Perugino and Botticelli, besides Leonardo da Vinci.
