Leonardo da Vinci's Baptism of Christ Angels Coaster

Baptism of Christ (angel detail) (1472-1475) by artist Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is a fine art vintage Renaissance Era religious portrait painting featuring the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist as recorded in the Biblical Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The angel to the left is recorded as having been painted by the youthful Leonardo, a fact which has excited so much special comment and mythology, that the importance and value of the picture as a whole and within the oevre of Verrocchio is often overlooked. Finished in the studio of Italian painter Andrea del Verrocchio and generally ascribed to him and his pupil Leonardo da Vinci. Some art historians discern the hands of other members of Verrocchio's workshop in the painting as well.
