Verrocchio, the Sculptor, the Painter and the Master of Leonardo

In spite of Vasari’s admiration and Verrocchio’s importance as a teacher, up-to-now there has never been an exhibition devoted to him. The event in the Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo Bargello aims to bring valuable insight into the early influence of Florence and of Verrocchio and his workshop on Leonardo’s oeuvre (seven on display here).
