The Baptism of Christ-by Andrea de Verrocchio and Leonardo da Vinci - Art Print
"The Baptism of Christ" is a famous painting made by Leonardo da Vinci's master, Andrea del Verrochio in his studio in Italy, circa 1472. The painting was completed by Verrochio in collaboration with his apprentice, Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo painted and finished the details of some parts of the painting, particularly the angel.Vasari wrote of the painting that "Verrocchio had already done the main work. Leonardo painted an angel who was holding some garments; and despite his youth, he executed it in such a manner that his angel was far better that the figures painted by Verrocchio. This was the reason why Andrea would never touch colors again, he was so ashamed that a boy understood their use better than he did.â€
