Trained in the circles of Vincenzo Fop
pa, he soon came under the influence of \b \cf4 \ATXht1199 Leonardo\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 , becoming one of his most attentive and gifted disciples. Particularly important are his portraits, where Boltraffio, through drawing heavily on Leonardo, developed an a
pproach that was more attentive to reality and to the psychological interpretation of the sitter. His \i Madonnas\i0 , elegant variations of LeonardoÆs schemes, are famous.
