At Canonica, on the frontier of the province of Bergamo, one still hears the gut-tural language of the Bergamasques ; at Vaprio, at the opposite end of the bridge across the Adda, the Milanese dia-lect predominates, and the school which rose in Milan, the Lombardo-Milanese school, extended as far as Vaprio. ^ That a Milanese school existed beforeLeonardos arrival, nohonest investigator willattempt to deny.

It also adopted Mantegnesque types ofphysiognomy—the broad face and prominent jaw. The Venetians,for their part, had revealed the delights and subtleties of colour toa few Milanese painters, such as Andrea Solario, in tones alternatelyrich and brilliant, luminous and profound. But these Milaneseprecursors sought harmony rather than splendour in their schemes ofcolour : they delighted in amber tones, inclining sometimes to gray.Their works are consequently more or less subd.
