Bernardo Bellincioni suggested that the title figure of one of his paintings "seemed to listen and not to speak", and the reverse of another of his portraits contains a juniper sprig and a motto translated as "Beauty is Virtue".  In addition to Cecilia Gallerani, the titular Lady with an Ermine, and Ginevra de' Benci, he depicted an emaciated figure holding a rock in his outstretched hand in a portrait of St. Jerome.  A series of drawings involving a cat being cuddled lend credence to the existence of his Madonna with a Cat; he also painted the Benois Madonna in addition to his most famous Madonna, the Virgin of the Rocks.  For 10 points, name this Italian who drew a Vitruvian Man and painted La Gioconda.
