List of works by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) was one of the leading artists of the High Renaissance. Fifteen artworks are generally attributed either in whole or in large part to him. However, it is believed that he made many more, only for them to be lost over the years or remain unidentified. The authorship of several paintings traditionally attributed to Leonardo is disputed. Two major works are known only as copies. Works are regularly attributed to Leonardo with varying degrees of credibility. None of Leonardo's paintings are signed. The attributions here draw on the opinions of various scholars.[1]

The Last Supper is Leonardo da Vinci's most famous work of religious art. (Clickable image—use cursor to identify.)

The small number of surviving paintings is due in part to Leonardo's frequently disastrous experimentation with new techniques and his chronic procrastination. Nevertheless, these few works together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, comprise a contribution to later generations of artists rivalled only by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo.

Lost works

Image Details Notes Dating
Dragon shield
A juvenile work described by Giorgio Vasari, who said it was sold by Ser Piero da Vinci to merchants, who then sold it on to the Duke of Milan.[45]
Adam and Eve
Watercolour cartoon for a tapestry
Described in great detail by Vasari and the "Anonimo Gaddiano". Painted for the King of Portugal, it was in the collection of Ottaviano de' Medici in Vasari's lifetime. The composition might have inspired a drawing by Francesco di Giorgio Martini in the Christ Church Picture Gallery, Oxford.[45]
Medusa
Oil on panel
A juvenile work described by Vasari.
San Bernardo Altarpiece
Oil on panel
A commission for the chapel in Palazzo della Signoria, Florence, allocated to Leonardo on 10 January 1478 but never completed.[45] The commission had originally been given to Piero del Pollaiolo on 24 December 1477; its reallocation might have been arranged by Leonardo's father, who was a notary to the Signoria. After Leonardo's failure to fulfill the commission it was given to Domenico Ghirlandaio on 20 May 1483, but he did not complete the work either. It is sometimes mistakenly said that a Virgin and Child with Saints in the Uffizi by Filippino Lippi was the work finally delivered to the chapel, but this was painted for the Sala dei Dugento (council hall) of the palace.[46]
The Battle of Anghiari
The remains of Leonardo's fresco may have been discovered in the Hall of the Five Hundred (Salone dei Cinquecento) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence.[47]
Commissioned 4 May 1504
Leda and the Swan
Recorded by Cassiano dal Pozzo as being at Château de Fontainebleau in 1625.
There are nine known copies of the painting, including:
c.1504–1508[45]
Angel of the Annunciation
The painting is described by Vasari. A drawing survives among studies for the Battle of Anghiari (see below). The drawing at left, known as The Incarnate Angel is a satirical copy, perhaps by Salaì, in the Kunstmuseum Basel.[48] There are some extant copies of the subject by Leonardeschi, including:
  • Workshop of Leonardo da Vinci? Angel of the Annunciation, c. 1505 – 13? Oil on canvas (transferred from panel), 66 × 47.3 cm, Hermitage, St Petersburg.[49]
  • Workshop of Leonardo da Vinci? St John the Baptist, c. 1508 – 13? Panel, 71 × 52 cm, Kunstmuseum Basel.[50]
  • Workshop of Leonardo da Vinci? St John the Baptist, c. 1508 – 13? Oil on panel, 75 × 53.4 cm, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.[51]
  • Baccio Bandinelli. Annunciate Angel. Sketch after Leonardo da Vinci.

Dreyfus Madonna
Oil on panel
15.7 × 12.8 cm, 6.13 × 5 in
National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
Previously attributed to Verrocchio or Lorenzo di Credi. The anatomy of the Christ Child is so poor as to discourage firm attribution by most critics while some believe that it is a work of Leonardo's youth. This attribution was made by Suida in 1929. Other art historians such as Shearman and Morelli attribute the work to Verrocchio.[1] Daniel Arasse discusses this painting as a youthful work in Leonardo da Vinci, (1997).[52]
probably c.1469
(Marani 2000)
Tobias and the Angel
Egg tempera on poplar
83.6 × 66 cm
National Gallery, London
A painting by Verrocchio while Leonardo was in his workshop. Martin Kemp suggests that Leonardo may have painted some part of this work, most likely the fish. David Alan Brown, of the National Gallery in Washington, attributes the painting of the dog to him as well.
c.1473 (Kemp 2011)
no date in Marani 2000, but accepted by him
The Holy Infants Embracing
Several versions in private collections.
c.1486–1490
La Bella Principessa
Bodycolour (pastel) on vellum
33 × 22 cm
Private collection, Switzerland
Identified as a Leonardo by Martin Kemp on stylistic grounds, and confirmed using the evidence of a fingerprint.[53] Other experts have not agreed with this attribution. As of 2010 the methods used to analyse the fingerprint have come into question.[54] The presence of holes in the page shows it was once part of the Sforziada a manuscript kept in Warsaw, this fact points to its originality.
Shaun Greenhalgh claims he faked the "masterpiece" La Bella Principessa, basing it on a woman called Sally on the tills at the Co-op in Bolton.[55]
Virgin of the Rocks Chéramy
Oil on wood panel, transferred to canvas.
154.5 × 122 cm;
Private collection, Switzerland
Attributed to Leonardo and his workshop by Carlo Pedretti;[56] believed by others to be a copy of the Virgin of the Rocks by Leonardo's student Giampietrino. Mentioned by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in 1845 and by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes; both were convinced that it was an original work by Leonardo.
c.1495–1497 (Pedretti)
Madonna and Child with St Joseph or Adoration of the Christ Child
Tempera on panel
Diameter 87 cm
Galleria Borghese, Rome
Previously attributed to Fra Bartolomeo. After recent cleaning, the Galleria Borghese sought attribution as a youthful work by Leonardo, based on the presence of a fingerprint similar to one that appears in the Lady with an Ermine. Result of investigation not available.[57]
Mary Magdalene
Private collection, Switzerland
Described as a potential Leonardo by Carlo Pedretti. Previously attributed to Giampietrino, who painted a number of similar Magdalenes.[58] Pedretti's attribution is not accepted by other scholars, e.g. Carlo Bertelli (former director of the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan), who said this painting is not by Leonardo and that the subject could be a Lucretia with the knife removed.[59]
Portrait of Luca Pacioli
Capodimonte Museum, Naples
The painting has been generally attributed to Jacopo de' Barbari due to the presence of a cartouche with a cryptic inscription resembling his name, but some attribute the painting (at least partially) to Leonardo,[60] who began collaborating with Pacioli when the latter moved to Milan in 1496.[61][62] Leonardo illustrated Archimedean solids, including the rhombicuboctahedron (pictured in the portrait), in Pacioli's Divina proportione (1509).[63] According to one scholar, in the rhombicuboctahedron "we surely see the ineffable left hand of Leonardo da Vinci, who drew the superb pictures for De divina proportione, which, moreover, hang from a string ..."[60]
c.1495–1500
Christ Carrying the Cross
Oil on poplar
Private collection, San Francisco.
Previously attributed by Sotheby's to Gian Francesco Maineri.[64][65] Attributed to Leonardo by its former owner.[64] Attribution based on the similarity of the tormentors of Christ to drawings made by Rubens of the Battle of Anghiari. According to Forbes magazine, Carlo Pedretti said that he knew of three similar paintings and that "All four paintings, he believed, were likely the work of Leonardo's studio assistants and perhaps even the master himself."[64]
c.1500
Isleworth Mona Lisa
Private collection, Switzerland
Its proponents claim that this is the earlier of two versions of the Mona Lisa, painted for Francesco del Giocondo (husband of Lisa) in 1503, and that the Louvre version was painted for Giuliano de' Medici in 1517.[66]
Horse and Rider
c.1508
Private collection, London
Fragmentary wax statuette in a private collection in London, formerly in the Sangiorgi Collection in Rome, said to have come from the Melzi estate at Vaprio d’Adda.[67][68] While described as “by Leonardo himself” by Carlo Pedretti in 1985,[69][70] Martin Kemp does not accept it as a Leonardo sculpture, commenting that "it has none of the characteristics of understanding horse anatomy and renaissance armor that you would expect from Leonardo".[71] The attribution has also been criticized by various other art historians[72][73][74] and publications, citing a lack of hard evidence or documentation.[75][76][77]
c.1506–1508 (Pedretti 1985)[78]
c.1508–1511 (Solari 2016)[79]
Lucan portrait of Leonardo da Vinci
tempera grassa on poplar
40 cm × 60 cm
Museo delle Antiche Genti di Lucania, Vaglio Basilicata
A painting discovered in 2008 near Naples, that closely resembles the Uffizi 17th century copy of the "Self portrait of Leonardo da Vinci", is currently undergoing restoration and investigation. A date in the late 15th or 16th century has been confirmed by scientific testing. Fingerprints match those found on the Lady with an Ermine. Alternatively attributed to Cristofano dell'Altissimo.[80]

Sources for attribution status

  1. Sort by size of the original
  2. Generally thought to be the earliest extant work by Leonardo. The work was traditionally attributed to Verrocchio until 1869. It is now almost universally attributed to Leonardo. Attribution proposed by Liphart, accepted by Bode, Lubke, Muller-Walde, Berenson, Clark, Goldscheider and others.[1]
  3. It is generally accepted as a Leonardo, but has some overpainting possibly by a Flemish artist.[1]
  4. Martin Kemp claims that the Gallery exhibited the Madonna Litta, on loan from the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, as an autograph work, even though the National Gallery's own curators believed it to be by a pupil, Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio.[8]
  5. Generally accepted as postdating the version in the Louvre, and produced in collaboration with Ambrogio de Predis and perhaps others.[1] Some consider it the work of Leonardo's workshop under his direction. The date is not universally agreed.
  6. On long-term loan from the Duke of Buccleuch collection[17]
  7. Leonardo da Vinci and an anonymous 16th-century painter (Syson 2011, p. 294); Workshop of Leonardo after a design by Leonardo (Zöllner 2019, p. 239)
  8. Leonardo was documented as working on a painting of this subject in Florence in 1501; it appears to have been delivered to its patron in 1507. This and the Lansdowne Madonna are the most likely candidates for being that work, but neither is considered to be wholly autograph. Scientific examination has revealed "strikingly complex and similar" underdrawings in both versions, suggesting that Leonardo was involved in the making of both.[18] The use of walnut wood suggests the earlier terminus post quem of 1499, as Leonardo's. Milanese paintings are on this support.[19]
  9. Salaì after a design by Leonardo (Zöllner 2019, p. 238)
  10. Previously presumed to be a later copy of the lost original painting. Purchased in 2005 and restored, it has gained acceptance as Leonardo's original. Pentimenti (changes to the composition) were found in the thumb of Christ's right hand and elsewhere which are indicators of the painting's status as an "original".[23] The painting set a new record for sale price (US$450 million) when auctioned by Christie's in 2017.[24][25] Matthew Landrus considers it to be primarily the work of Bernardino Luini.[26]
  11. Follower of Leonardo (Syson 2011, p. 198, n. 9); "ascribed today to Leonardo" (Marani 2003, p. 140)

[...] after weeks of struggling over wording, museum officials altered some of the labels to introduce more skepticism [... The Wax Horse] is "attributed to Leonardo." Not so fast, said Jack Wasserman, an art historian at Temple University in Philadelphia. "There is no single work of sculpture which Leonardo worked on that survived to today," Wasserman said. "Yes, it could be 'attributed to' Leonardo, but you need to have a compelling reason for doing so. Since nothing survived, there is no way to judge a piece of sculpture like this."
