Bernardino Luini was an Italian Renaissance painter who was strongly influenced by Leonardo da Vinci. He produced a number of religious masterpieces in the form of frescoes and paintings. He was also a great painter of real, everyday life, offering a few paintings of real intensity to posterity.His work included many religious paintings including the frescoes in the church of Sta Maria dei Mirocoli , Saronno near the city of Milan.

"(born c. 1480/85—died 1532, Milan) Italian painter active in Milan. Little is known of his life. His earliest surviving works are a polyptych in a church near Como (c. 1510) and a fresco, Madonna and Child (1512), at the Cistercian monastery of Chiravalle, near Milan. Working in the Renaissance style, he was a prominent follower of Leonardo da Vinci in Lombardy; many of Luini's frescoes and altarpieces are in Lombardy churches. He also painted mythological subjects, most notably a Europa and a Cephalus and Procris (c. 1520), originally for a Milanese palace."
