Alongside illustrations of Bramantino's masterpieces - from prestigious institutions including the National Gallery, London, the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid and the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan - there are works by artists who were Bramantino's contemporaries, first and foremost Bernardo Zenale, and by those who were the heirs of his artistic legacy, such as Bernardino Luini and Gaudenzio Ferrari.
Bramantino's oeuvre is also set against paintings, drawings, miniatures, sculptures and gold-work, which highlight the central role played by this artist and evoke some of the trends in the Lombard figurative culture during the period of the Italian Wars and the French Occupation (1499-1525).
