The Battl e of Ang hiari Com
A commission for the chapel in Palazzo della Signoria, Florence, allocated to Leonardo on 10 January 1478 but never completed.[20] The commission had originally been given to Piero del Pollaiolo on 24 December 1477; its reallocation might have been arranged by Leonardo's father, who was a notary to the Signoria. After Leonardo's failure to fulfill the commission it was given to Domenico Ghirlandaio on 20 May 1483, but he did not complete the work either. It is sometimes mistakenly said that a Virgin and Child with Saints in the Uffiziby Filippino Lippi was the work finally delivered to the chapel, but this was painted for the Sala dei Dugento (council hall) of the palace.[21]

Recent attributions[edit] Virgin of the Rocks
Chera my Oil on wood panel, transfer red to canvas. 154,5 × 122 cm;
Recently the subject of a new book (2017) and attributed to Leonardo and workshop by Professor Carlo Pedretti. Previously incorrectly attributed only to his student Giampetrino. Mentioned by Jean-AugusteDominique Ingres in 1845 and by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, who were both convinced that it was a Leonardo original. According to the world's top Leonardo expert Carlo Pedretti, the so-called Cheramy Madonna "is wholly similar to the one in the Louvre" (seehttp://www.italymagazine.com/italy/marche /virgin-rocks-smash-hit, Italy Magazine, "Virgin of the rocks a smash hit," 9 November, 2005).

late 16t h cent ury. Recently attributed as a Leonardo by Carlo Pedretti. Previously regarded as the work of Giampietrino who painted a number of similar Magdalenes.[27]Carlo Pedretti's attribution of this painting is not accepted by other scholars, e.g. Carlo Bertelli, (former director of the Brera Art Gallery in Milan), who said this painting is not by Leonardo and that the subject could be a Lucretia with the knife removed.[28] Christ Carrying the Cross c. 1500 Oil on poplar San Francisco, private collection
Lucan Portrait of

Discovered in 2008 in a private collection and identified as a self-portrait by Peter Hohenstatt and others. A date in the late 15th or 16th century has been confirmed by scientific testing. Fingerprints match those found on the Lady with an Ermine. Alternately attributed to Cristofano dell'Altissimo.[31]

Its proponents claim that this is the earlier of two versions of the Mona Lisa, painted for Francesco del Giocondo (husband of Lisa) in 1503, and that the Louvre version was painted for Giuliano de' Medici in 1517.[32]

Recently[when?] discovered[33] fragmentary wax statuette in a private collectionin London, formerly in
the Sangiorgi Collection in Rome, said[who?] to have come from the Melzi estate at Vaprio d’Adda. Described as “by Leonardo himself” by Professor Carlo Pedretti, in 1985.[34][35] The attribution of the sculpture to da Vinci has been criticized by various art historians[36][37][38] and publications, citing a lack of hard evidence, a signature, or documentation.[39][40][41]
