Leonardo in Florence
Florence was where Leonardo trained, in Verrocchio's workshop on the Via Ghibellina, but it is not where he did his major work. He left for Milan in 1482 and returned only briefly. What the city holds is mostly early: the Annunciation in the Uffizi, painted when he was in his early twenties, and the unfinished Adoration of the Magi — abandoned when he left for the north, its underpainting now more revealing than any finished work could be.
The Adoration rewards slow looking. Leonardo sketched dozens of figures into the composition and then stopped, leaving the architectural perspective and the crowd of faces in brown underpaint. You can see the thinking — the compositional restlessness that made him leave so many things unfinished — in a way that his completed panels never quite show.
Planning your visit
Book the Uffizi well in advance. Leonardo's rooms are in the east wing; if you arrive early, go directly there before the crowd builds around Botticelli.

About the artist
Leonardo da Vinci
Italian · High Renaissance · 1452–1519
Leonardo da Vinci was the defining genius of the High Renaissance — painter, scientist, engineer, and anatomist in equal measure. Fewer than twenty paintings are universally accepted as his, making each original encounter exceptionally rare. He worked in Florence and Milan, and spent his final years in France at the invitation of King Francis I.
