Pompeo Leoni
In his Trattato dell'arte de la pittura, published in 1584, Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo states that two mythological paintings by Correggio, Jupiter et Io and Danaë (now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and the Galleria Borghese in Rome,[4] respectively), sent by Pompey from Lombardy, Spain, were preserved in the Leoni household in Milan.In 1589, he came into possession of the notebooks, manuscripts, and drawings that Leonardo da Vinci had bequeathed to his pupil Francesco Melzi.In 1630, Antonio Mazenta wrote about the distribution of Leonardo's manuscripts, accusing Pompeo Leoni of being one of the main culprits and of having altered their order.To distinguish between artistic and technical or scientific drawings, Leoni dismantled the original manuscripts and created two separate collections: the first, Disegni di Machine e delle Arti Secreti et Altre Cose di Leonardo da Vinci Racolti da Pompeo Leoni, grouped scientific and technical drawings, this is the Codex Atlanticus kept at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.The second, Disegni di Leonardo da Vinci restaurati da Pompeo Leoni, was intended to group botanical and anatomical drawings; it has been dismantled and the sheets can be found in several European collections,[5] such as the Codex Windsor in the Royal Collection of Windsor Castle since the 17th century,[6] and the Codex Madrid in the National Library of Spain.
