		The one area of the painting probably by Verrocchio himself is the image of John the Baptist; it is thought that this figure was painted entirely without assistance as it displays Verrocchio's fascination with bones, tendons, muscles and other aspects of the human body.
		Verrocchio had finished it to the stage of making a clay model of horse and rider; he entrusted its completion to Lorenzo di Credi, but it was handed on to Venetian Alessandro Leopardi who was expert at bronze casting.

		As a young man Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was apprenticed to the studio of Italian Renaissance painter and sculptor, Andrea del Verrocchio.
		Verrocchio has also been mentioned in connection with an apprenticeship with the great early Italian Renaissance sculptor, Donatello, though this claim is unsubstantiated.
		It was his work as a mere apprentice painting one of the foreground figures, a blond angel, and the atmospheric landscape background that prompted Verrocchio to give up painting, supposedly angered that he had been surpassed by a child if the tale is true.

		After his training under the goldsmith Giuliano del Verrocchio, whose name he adopted, he went on his own, trying himself and achieving success in different fields of fine arts: in jewelry, sculpture and painting, but it was in the field of sculpture that he excelled most.
		Verrocchio left works in marble, terracotta, silver and bronze, which show his brilliance as a modeler as well as a carver.
		Thus Verrocchio’s painting The Baptism of Christ (1475), which is considered to be the finest representation of the subject in Early Renaissance Florentine art, was clearly assisted by Leonardo, at that time active in Verrocchio’s workshop.

		Andrea detto, dal nome del suo primo maestro, il Verrocchio si formò come orafo e di tale educazione è forse un ricordo in una delle sue prime opere, il monumento funebre a Piero e Giovanni de' Medici che fu collocato nella sagrestia vecchia di San Lorenzo nel 1472.
		Esso non ha sculture figurate e sotto un'arcata di tipo albertiano reca un sarcofago i cui cesellati e frastagliatissimi ornati in bronzo si fondono con le vibrazioni di una grande rete di attorte funi, pure di bronzo, che si stende per tutto il vano sovrastante.
		Indubbiamente infatti il Verrocchio conobbe quella di Donatello quando modellò verso il 1473-75 la statua che fu acquistata dalla Signoria e posta all'ingresso della Sala dei Gigli in Palazzo Vecchio (ora nel Museo del Bargello).

		For example, one of Leonardo's first big breaks was to paint an angel in Verrochio's "Baptism of Christ," and Leonardo was so much better than his master's that Verrochio allegedly resolved never to paint again.

		The drawings by Verrocchio and his circle that are on view reveal that other innovations often credited to Leonardo—for example, the quick sketching of figures from different points of view and the measured survey drawings of the proportions of the horse—actually may have originated in Verrocchio's workshop.
		Among the highlights of Verrocchio's career as a draftsman are exquisite full-scale drawings, or cartoons, of the heads of young women; according to Giorgio Vasari, the young Leonardo closely imitated these in style and technique.
		A page from a dismembered sketchbook of 1487–88 by Francesco di Simone Ferrucci, another artist connected with Verrocchio's workshop, further illustrates the types of compendia that were current in Verrocchio's sphere of influence.
