Italiano: L'Annunciazione (c. 1472–1475) di Leonardo. S'ipotizza si tratti di una delle primissime committenze che Leonardo riuscì a guadagnarsi mentre era "a bottega" dal Verrocchio. L'Annunciazione è celebrata il 25 marzo, data in corrispondenza della quale era fissato il Capodanno nei calendari che adottavano lo stile dell'Incarnazione.
