Education
*The Milanese periods: around 1481-1483 Leonardo moved to Milan to work at the Court of the Duke Ludovico Sforza as a military engineer, sculptor and painter. He then left the city in 1499 when Milan fell under the control of the French King Louis XII.
*After a period spent in Florence, Leonardo returned to Milan in 1506 when Charles II Amboise, Governor of Milan, wrote to the Signoria of Florence requesting Leonardo's services. Leonardo remained there until around 1511 when the French lost control of Milan.
*Most significant works still in Milan: the Last Supper, the Portrait of a Musician, the 'Sala delle Asse', the Codex Atlanticus and the Codex Trivulzianus.
