List of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci
- List of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci
This is a list of paintings attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, (baptised Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci) (Audio|it-Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci.ogg|pronunciation), (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519), an Italian polymath. Fifteen paintings are generally attributed either in whole or in large part to Leonardo by most art historians. This number is made up principally of paintings on panel but includes a mural, a large drawing on paper and two works in the early stages of preparation. There are a further six paintings whose attribution is disputed, four recently attributed works, and two copies of lost work. None of Leonardo's paintings are signed, and this list relies upon an analysis of the opinions of various scholars.[citation]

Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan. He later worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice, spending his final years in France at the home given to him by King François I. While Leonardo has been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man",[citation]

His small number of surviving paintings is due to his constant and frequently disastrous experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination. Nevertheless, these few works together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, comprise a contribution to later generations of artists only rivalled by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo.]Entirely by Leonardo
