The Baptism of Christ (1472�75)- The picture depicts the�Baptism of Jesus�by�John the Baptist�on the banks of Jordan river with two angels and a palm tree,�as recorded in the Biblical Gospels of�Matthew,�Mark,�and�Luke. This painting is actually supposed to be completed by both- Leonardo and his guru-�Andrea del Verrocchio.�The painting is housed in the�Uffizi Gallery�in�Florence.������� *Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (1452�1519) was Italian painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. He gained notoriety for his notebooks, in which he produced sketches and notes on a variety of topics, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, painting, and palaeontology, even though his popularity primarily stemmed from his accomplishments as a painter. Only his younger contemporary, Michelangelo, has made a greater impact to following generations of painters than Leonardo, who is widely recognised as a genius and the embodiment of the Renaissance humanist ideal.�
