Légende

Cast of a bust of Leonardo da Vinci, c1860. This portrait bust is one of eight busts of artists and architects installed in the 'Octagon' in the Main Galleries at Burlington House when the RA moved there in 1868. The cast appears to be taken from the 1813 bust of Leonardo by Filippo Albacini, itself derived from the presumed self-portrait in the Uffizi. This self-portrait was in turn engraved by Rafaello Morghen at the beginning of the 19th century, and in this form served as Albacini's model. Albacini's bust was executed to occupy a position in the Pantheon in Rome, but was transferred to the Capitoline Museums in 1820.
