Saint Anne, Leonardo da Vinci’s ultimate masterpiece

Leonardo da Vinci's masterwork *The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne*, restored with the aid of the C2RMF (Center for Research and Restoration of the Museums of France), is the centerpiece of an exceptional exhibition that reunites all surviving related works for the first time. The beginning of the slow and complex genesis of the painting dates back to 1501, when it was first mentioned in Isabella d'Este's correspondence. Leonardo da Vinci continuously worked to perfect this ambitious composition, left unfinished upon his death in 1519.
