Luini Bernardino
Italian, 1480–1532
Luini Bernardino was an Italian Mannerism painter. 47 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art. Luini Bernardino was born in Dumenza.
Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82 – June 1532) was a north Italian painter from Leonardo's circle during the High Renaissance. Both Luini and Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio were said to have worked with Leonardo directly; he was described as having taken "as much from Leonardo as his native roots enabled him to comprehend". Consequently, many of his works were attributed to Leonardo. He was known especially for his graceful female figures with elongated eyes, called Luinesque by Vladimir Nabokov.
