Da Vinci spoke not a word as his two companions made their way about the studio, as they pored over the array of canvasses, those set to dry against the wall and those still upon the easels, still in progress.

Verrocchio, the nickname given him meaning “true eye,” stopped in the middle of the room, turning slowly; his face a portrait of an incredulous daze.

“These…all these…are by their hands and none other’s?”

“To the one. Their talent and none other’s,” Leonardo assured him, chest puffed out, chin high.

Botticelli paused before Lapaccia’s work, bent down, and retrieved a canvas from the crux of the wall, holding it at eye level before him.

“That is the work of Mona Cavalcanti,” Leonardo told him. “You are her favorite. She strives to master your techniques.”

Sandro looked at him, cupid-bow lips agape.

“She honors me,” he whispered, turning back, still with the painting in his grip, still with wonder upon his face.
