The story of The Baptism of Christ
The panel was painted around 1472-75 in the Florentine workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio for the church of San Salvi. It is generally accepted that Verrocchio's pupil Leonardo da Vinci painted the angel on the far left and worked on parts of the landscape and the figure of Christ. Giorgio Vasari tells the story that Verrocchio, seeing his pupil's angel, resolved never to touch a brush again. The painting has been in the Uffizi since 1919.

Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he has also become known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and palaeontology. Leonardo is widely regarded as a genius who epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his collective works contributed to the development of European art to an extent rivalled only by that of his younger contemporary Michelangelo.
