Leonardo da Vinci – The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne

The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne features baby Jesus playing with a lamb, while His mother, Mary, reaches out to Him while sitting on her mother’s (St. Anne) lap. Each figure in the portrait is looking with love and comfort at each other. A cleaning of the painting in 2011 was controversial in that it was made brighter than Leonardo may have intended.
