"Foppa, Leonardo e Bramantino sono i protagonisti del Rinascimento lombardo, dall'insediamento del duca Francesco Sforza e dalla Pace di Lodi (1454) alla definitiva scomparsa del ducato sforzesco con la morte di Francesco II Sforza (1535). Questo libro segue i momenti più significativi della loro presenza milanese, ma si impegna a ricomporre anche il fitto contesto di presenze figurative e di intrecci culturali che caratterizzano uno dei momenti più alti e ricchi di futuro della storia dell'arte lombarda. Sfilano sotto gli occhi del lettore lo sfolgorante itinerario formativo di Vincenzo Foppa, dalla Padova di Mantegna alla cappella di Pigello Portinari in Sant'Eustorgio; l'affermazione umanistica di Bramante e di Bernardo Zenale, architetti e pittori, in una Milano che forgia un suo particolare Rinascimento "senza Roma", fantastico e iperdecorato; Leonardo che crea l'Ultima cena delle Grazie, primo capolavoro della "maniera moderna", sotto lo sguardo stupefatto dei colleghi lombardi, legati a una diversa tradizione figurativa, che in parte saranno travolti, ma in parte sapranno appropriarsi delle novità leonardesche distillandone un prezioso cromatismo e una sofisticata eleganza disegnativa (dal Maestro della Pala Sforza a Luini); Bramantino, a chiusura, che inventa un suo peculiare canone umano, di geometrica e lunare potenza, che suggestionerà tanta parte della pittura nell'Italia settentrionale, dal Veneto di Lorenzo Lotto al Piemonte di Gaudenzio Ferrari." ["Foppa, Leonardo and Bramantino are the protagonists of the Lombard Renaissance, from the settlement of Duke Francesco Sforza and the Peace of Lodi (1454) to the definitive disappearance of the Sforza duchy with the death of Francesco II Sforza (1535). This book follows the most significant moments of their presence in Milan, but also undertakes to recompose the dense context of figurative presences and cultural interweavings that characterize one of the highest and most future-rich moments in the history of Lombard art. Vincenzo Foppa's dazzling educational itinerary unfolds before the reader's eyes, from Mantegna's Padua to Pigello Portinari's chapel in Sant'Eustorgio; the humanistic affirmation of Bramante and Bernardo Zenale, architects and painters, in a Milan that forged its own particular Renaissance "without Rome", fantastic and over-decorated; Leonardo creating the Last Supper of Graces, the first masterpiece of the "modern manner", under the astonished gaze of his Lombard colleagues, linked to a different figurative tradition, who will be partly overwhelmed, but partly will be able to appropriate Leonardo's novelties by distilling a precious chromaticism and a sophisticated design elegance (from the Master of the Altarpiece Sforza to Luini); Bramantino, in closing, who invents his own peculiar human canon, of geometric and lunar power, which will influence much of the painting in northern Italy, from Lorenzo Lotto's Veneto to Gaudenzio Ferrari's Piedmont."].
