 | | In 1472, Leonardo was entered in the painter's guild in Florence and four years later was still mentioned as Verrocchio's assistant. |
 | | He was also one of the first painters to strive, in his portraits, to bring out the personality of his subjects, emphasizing unique physical qualities in each. |
 | | First and foremost, Leonardo was a painter of major talents who brought the static line of quattrocento or early Renaissance painting into a new world with his work on perspective and sfumato and with his ability to allow personality to come through in his portraits. |
