The story of The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne

Leonardo began the panel around 1503 and was still working on it when he died in 1519 in France; it entered the French royal collection and is now in the Louvre (INV 776). The Virgin leans from her mother's lap towards the Child, who holds a lamb, a sign of the Passion. The Louvre cleaned and restored the painting in 2011-12, removing yellowed varnish and revealing the blue sky and mountains. (Verify wording against the Wikipedia page before publishing.)

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.
