Francesco Melzi was an Italian painter, beloved and favorite pupil of Leonardo da Vinci. The son of a Milanese noble family joined the household of Leonardo da Vinci in 1506 at the age of fifteen. He accompanied Leonardo on trips to Rome in 1513 and to France in 1517. He proved a very talented painter and worked closely with and for Leonardo, who in his last years couldn’t use his hands anymore. Some works that had previously been thought to be by Leonardo are today often attributed to Melzi.

Upon Leonardo’s death, Melzi inherited the artistic and scientific works and collections of Leonardo, and would henceforth faithfully administer the estate. When he died on his estate in Vaprio d’Adda, his heirs sold the collection of Leonardo’s works.
