That's like Michelangelo hiring some contract painters so he could finish
that dern chapel ceiling job faster. Sure, they'd get it done, but the result
wouldn't be quite the same... ;-)
Actually, that was a common practice at the time. The master would
outline the work, paint some of the difficult parts, to be completed by
his apprentices.
These works are often known as "from the studio of" and are responsible
for some of difficulty the art world has in attribution. If Di Vinci
painted the outline and some of the work (say 20%) and his apprentices
did the rest, is it an authentic Di Vinci?
