Angelo Incarnato

Prints and Drawings

Angelo incarnato, meaning Embodied Angel, is a sketch attributed to Leonardo da Vinci from the early 1500s, believed to depict his longtime apprentice and companion Gian Giacomo Caprotti da Oreno, known as Salai, who served as both model and assistant in Leonardo's workshop. The drawing's title reflects the idealized, androgynous beauty given to the figure.
