First preiod in Florence (Part 1 of 2)

	Leonardo created this painting 1478. Remarkable is the beauty of the virgin and the attentive facial expression of the child, who looks at the flower. This madonna painting is one of two, which Leonardo painted at this time. The second one, a madonna with a cat, doesn't exist, but a drawing from Leonardo exists in the British Museum.

Around 1480/1481 Leonardo created the small Annunciation, which is now in the Louvre. It's a lovely small painting with a deep and misty landscape and also the flowers in the foreground are typical of Leonardo. Beside this Annunciation there exists another one, which is now in Florence. The annunciation from Florence is usually ascribed to Leonardo, but the most scientifically facts indicate, that it is from Lorenzo di Credi, who worked with Leonardo in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio.
