Sforza effectively ruled Milan from 1480, first as regent for his young nephew and later, after his nephew’s suspicious death, as duke.

Before his fall, he was one of the wealthiest and most powerful princes of Italy, spending immense sums to further the arts and sciences. What painting did he commission? Discuss
