A rare letter to Da Vinci’s patron, with a full signature HENRY VII: (1457-1509) King of England 1485-1509, the first monarch of the House of Tudor. Father of King Henry VIII. An extremely rare, fine L.S., Henry R, as King, at the foot, one page, oblong folio, Southampton, 14th July 1496, to Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, in Latin. The letter is written in an attractive italic hand by the King’s Latin Secretary, Pietro Carmeliano, and conveys elaborate pledges of friendship and good will and commends Christopher Carbonari, his envoy, to Sforza. The letter is heavily docketed at the head in an unidentified 18th century hand, in Italian. With address panel to the verso and minor traces of a seal. Some minor traces of professional repair at the edges of the document, generally VG Ludovico Sforza (1452-1508) Duke of Milan 1489-1500. A patron of Renaissance artists, and in particular Leonardo da Vinci, Sforza is famous for having commissioned The Last Supper. Pietro Carmeliano (c.1450-1527) Italian-born Poet who became King Henry VII’s Latin Secretary in 1495. He also served as a Chaplain to the King and was keeper of the King’s correspondence with Rome. King Henry VIII recognised different qualities in Carmeliano however, and made him his lute player. The present document was signed by King Henry VII less than six months after he negotiated the Magnus Intercursus (‘great agreement’), his most successful diplomatic achievement in terms of the economy. The important and long lasting treaty was made with Philip IV, Duke of Burgundy, and signed in February 1496. Documents signed by King Henry VII with his full signature are extremely rare; most that appear on the market (in themselves scarce) are signed with his initials. The present document features a wonderful, large signature, evidently a deliberate attempt to impress the recipient. The size of the document and grandeur of its tone reinforce the King’s intention to demonstrate his status and sophistication to the Duke of Milan, as does the Italianate hand of Carmeliano, a symbol of being cultured in itself.
