Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo was summoned to Milan by Charles II d'Amboise

1506
Milan, Italy

In 1506, Leonardo was summoned to Milan by Charles II d'Amboise, the acting French governor of the city. The Council of Florence wished Leonardo to return promptly to finish The Battle of Anghiari, but he was given leave at the behest of Louis XII, who considered commissioning the artist to make some portraits.
