The court of ludovico il moro by giuseppe diotti (1823). Starting from the left: a page opens the door to the secretary bartolomeo calco. Seated at the center of the scene are cardinal ascanio, duchess beatrice and duke ludovico, to whom leonardo da vinci is showing the project for the fresco of the last supper. Some other great personalities of the court are recognizable around them: on the left bramante speaks with the mathematician fra' luca pacioli; on the right the musician franchino gaffurio, reading a score, the poet bernardo bellincioni, crowned with laurel, and the historian bernardino corio, with his historia di milano under his arm.
