	Annunciation by LEONARDO da Vinci
		Leonardo depicted Mary in a three-quarter profile in front of the corner of a room.
		The sacred scene is set in the garden of a Florentine palace, with a landscape on the background which is already peculiarly Leonardesque, for the magic and unreal atmosphere created by mountains, water and sky.
		Leonardo's personality is pointed out also in the beautiful drapery of the Virgin and the Angel, while the marble table in front of her probably quotes the tomb of Piero and Giovanni dei Medici in the church of San Lorenzo sculpted by Verrocchio in this period.

	Leonardo DaVinci
		Paintings by Leonardo are frequently attributed to Credi and vise versa as the two were studying with Verrocchio at the same time.
		Evidence of Leonardo's involvement came in the form of a drawing made of the angel's sleeve which is undoubtedly his and is one of the few early drawings that has been positively identified as being from his hand.
		Leonardo's use of light and shade giving a shadowy effect known as 'leonardesque' is also obvious, despite the bad condition of the painting.

	Leonardo and drapery studies on 'tela sottilissima di lino'.(Critical Essay) - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In contrast, the drapery of the seated figure of the Virgin in Leonardo's Uffizi Annunciation (a picture whose legibility has been increased thanks to its recent cleaning, which was completed in 2000) (17) is a tour-de-force of emotive move merit in repose, and serves as a dramatic foil to the Virgin's state of 'conturbatio'.
		Leonardo himself would return to the elegant solution of the drapery motif seen in the Louvre study in a very small sketch of the 1490s.
		Lastly, it is also Leonardo's career--particularly if it is regarded as a whole--that offers a compelling a fortiori argument in favour of his authorship of at least some of the finest drapery studies on tela di lino, even if a scholarly consensus of opinion may not be attainable regarding the attribution of individual works.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Leonardo da Vinci
		Leonardo's most important work at Milan is his "Last Supper" which he painted in the refectory of the Dominican convent of Sta Maria delle Grazie.
		From Milan, Leonardo went to Mantua where he sketched (1500) the portrait of the Marchesa Isabella d'Este, the cartoon of which is one of the wonders of the Louvre.
		Leonardo was more a scholar than a philosopher, nevertheless his wholly naturalistic science implies a certain philosophy, which if it is neither the kind of paganism nor the materialism in which the Renaissance so often resulted cannot be called truly Christian.

	Annunciation (Leonardo) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Annunciation (1472–1475) is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
		It depicts the annunciation by the Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive Jesus Christ and is set in the enclosed courtyard garden of a Florentine villa.
		When the Annunciation came to the Uffizi in 1867 from the monastery of San Bartolomeo of Monteoliveto, near Florence, it was ascribed to Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was, like Leonardo, an apprentice in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio.

	Frank Zöllner: LEONARDO DA VINCI
		Leonardo's touch is particularly evident in the masterly treatment of the elements, water, air and light, which become increasingly — atmospherically — dense around the steep foothills of the almost Alpine ridges and peaks in the distance.
		Leonardo, on the other hand, did not concern himself with the geometric relationship between the circle and the square, and the two geometric figures in his drawing are not constrained by their relationship to each other.
		Leonardo underlines the monumentality of the design by creating a tall plinth which was intended to have a sculpture in the centre and a pillar at each corner with the sculpted figure of a prisoner tied to it.

		A little later is Leonardo's portrait of Ginevra de' Benci, the young wife of a prominent Florentine merchant, in which her oily face with softly contoured lips is seen against a background of mysteriously dark trees and a pond.
		Leonardo joined this principle to two others: perspective of clarity (distant objects progressively lose their separateness and hence are not drawn with outlines) and perspective of color (distant objects progressively tend to a uniform gray tone).
		Leonardo began filling the notebooks with data and drawings, and the visual intensity that was always his starting point reveal his other scientific interests: firearms, the action of water, the flight of birds (leading to designs for human flight), the growth of plants, and geology.

	TIMELINE
		Leonardo receives a basic education, learning to read and write in the “abacus school”, before being sent to Florence as an apprentice (as an illegitimate son, he was automatically excluded from the guild of notaries, so could not follow his father’s career path).
		Leonardo travels to Milan with the singer Atalante Migliorotti, bringing a musical instrument that he had designed, a silver lute in the form of a horse’s head, as a gift to the new Duke of Milan, the ruthless mercenary Ludovico Sforza, who had left a bloody trail in his rise to power.
		While Leonardo’s primary role is courtly entertainment, he rapidly drafts a letter to Ludovico outlining his other talents, laying particular emphasis on his ability to construct “an infinite number of machines for both attack and defense”, and only mentioning his artistic abilities as a throwaway remark at the end of the letter.
