Leonardo da Vinci biography

This work is linked to Luke 1:28

This work was considered to be made by Domenico Ghirlandaio, until experts realised that it must have been painted by the young Leonardo. One determining aspect was the background: the water and the mountains under a hazy sky are seen as typical for Da Vinci. The detailed clothing would be more in the style of Botticelli.
