Born near the town of Vinci in 1452, Leonardo trained in the Florentine workshop of Andrea Verrocchio (1435-88). His first masterpiece was the unfinished Adoration of the Magi (1481, Uffizi, Florence). In 1481-2 he traveled to Milan to work for the Duke, where he painted the Virgin of the Rocks (Musee du Louvre, Paris - a later version exists in the National Gallery, London) and the Last Supper (1495-7; Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie (Refectory), Milan). In 1499 he traveled to Mantua and Venice, arriving back in Florence in 1500.
