The Annunciation

Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation is a depiction of the annunciation of Mary, the future mother of Jesus of Nazareth, by the arch-angel Gabriel.

Painted between 1472 and 1475, Leonardo's Annunciation was eventually purchased by Ezio Auditore and placed in the gallery at the Villa Auditore.[1] The painting was later taken during the Papal attack on Monteriggioni in 1500,[2] led by the Templar Cesare Borgia.[3]

Six years after the attack on Monteriggioni, Ezio Auditore—whilst looking for a kidnapped Leonardo—learned that the Annunciation held part of a map identifying the location of the Temple of Pythagoras, and that the painting was in the possession of Lucrezia Borgia, who resided with her husband Alfonso I d'Esta in Delizia di Belriguardo.[2]

Ezio travelled to Belriguardo and after tricking Lucrezia into revealing the painting's location, regained it for himself.[4]
