The claim that Milanese court documents listed Leonardo da Vinci’s profession as “musician” is not supported by the sources checked. Early biographers linked his arrival at Ludovico Sforza’s court with playing the lyre, but the National Gallery presents this as a possibility. Leonardo’s own draft letter to Sforza mainly offers engineering and military-technical services, while a 1483 contract engaged him to paint and gild an altarpiece. These records describe different skills and specific work, not a single official job title.
