All the Da Vincis in the world: rated. The Annunciation (1472) On display at the Uffizi, Florence In this dazzling performance, created when he was about 20 years old, we peer directly into the riches of Leonardo da Vinci’s mind.
It has always been in Florence and, even though it was not mentioned by Vasari in the biography of Leonardo he published there in 1550, no one has ever doubted it’s by him.
