		Upon first examination the Benois Madonna (also called the Madonna of the Flower), is a gay painting with obvious affection shining from the face of the Madonna's girlish face.
		A note made by Leonardo on a drawing suggests that the Benois Madonna may be one of two Virgins started in the final months of 1478, the other being the Madonna with the Carnation.
		With Benois Madonna it is in details like the ears which are simply too inaccurate for a man who paid an almost meticulous attention to anatomy.

	The Benois Madonna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It's likely that the Benois Madonna was the first work painted by Leonardo independently from his master Verrocchio.
		Upon Korsakov's death, it was sold by his son to the Astrakhan merchant Sapozhnikov for 1400 roubles, and so passed by inheritance to the Benois family in 1880.
		After many a squabble on attribution, Leon Benois sold the painting to the Imperial Hermitage Museum in 1914.

		A light runs along the creases of the Madonna's dress curling in every direction, distracting our attention from the real subject which is the light that appears in the crinkle of pleats opening out of the yellow lining of the cushion which perhaps is intentionally arranged for the model by the artist.
		Finally, it strikes the glass vase containing flowers which exist through the light reflections and beyond the windows there is the landscape typical of Leonardo which all signs of human presence have been removed.
		This painting is similar to the Benois Madonna in the Hermitage; however, this painting is more complex in its composition and spatial arrangement and less spontaneous.

		The Madonna of the Carnation by LEONARDO da Vinci
		This painting is a free variant of the Benois Madonna in the Hermitage, being more complex in its composition and spatial arrangement, though perhaps somewhat highflown and less spontaneous.
		Moreover, we should not overlook the striking similarities - in facial features and other details - with the Benois Madonna already mentioned (the gem fastening the Virgin's gown over her breast) and with the Uffizi Annunciation, works that in their figurative and expressive invention quite clearly reveal the stamp of Leonardo.

		The painting belonged to the family of the notable St Petersburg architect Leonty Benois, whose wife had inherited it from her father, the merchant Alexander Sapozhnikov.
		In 1912 Maria Benois decided to sell the painting and sent it abroad; the London antiquarian Duveen offered 500,000 francs for it but the Russian public launched a drive to raise funds to purchase the masterpiece for the Hermitage Museum.
		Maria Benois eventually consented to sell the painting to the Russian government for the sum of just 150,000 roubles as a goodwill gesture and in 1914 the Benois Madonna was added to the Hermitage collection.
