Andrea Solari (also Solario) (1460 in Milano – 1524) was an Italian Renaissance painter. He was initially named Andre del Gobbo, but more confusingly as Andrea del Bartolo [1] a name shared with two other Italian painters, the 14th Century Siennese Andrea di Bartolo, and the 15th Century Florentine Andrea di Bartolo.
He was one of the most important followers of Leonardo da Vinci, and brother of Cristoforo Solari, who gave him his first training. His paintings can be seen in Venice, Milan, The Louvre and the Château de Gaillon (Normandie, France). One of his better known paintings is the Virgin of the Green Cushion (c. 1507) in the Louvre (illustrated here). [1]
