Leonardo da vinci started painting 'Baptism of Christ' in 1475 and it took him 5 years to finish it.
23 years old.
He contributed on Verrocchio's painting 'Baptism of Christ'. The first painting that was probably wholly by his own hand was the 'Annunciation'.
Baptism of Christ was his first contribution to a known art work. Many say his first independent piece is either the annunciation or virgin of the rocks.
He painted these details in Verrocchio's painting. The painting has not been sold lately. Leonardo worked as an apprentice and was not paid separately for each thing he did.
What Verrocchio thought we do not know.Perhaps you mean what Verrocchio painting is people's favorite today?Probably The Baptism of Christ, mainly because the young Leonardo da Vinci assisted painting parts of it.
I cannot possibly know which of the hundreds of 'Baptism of Christ' paintings you mean. It is one of the favorite subjects of Christian artists through the centuries. Let me make a wild guess: You are thinking of the painting by Andrea del Verrocchio, on which the young Leonardo da Vinci painted some details. This painting is in the Uffizi Museum, Florence, Italy. A very good depiction of the Baptism of Christ can be found in the Life of Christ painting by Jackson Bailey.
The painting I believe you are asking about is by Leonardo's master Verrocchio, painted around 1475 while a young da Vinci was a pupil in the workshop. However, the blonde angel on the left and parts of the background are Leonardo's work. The painting is on display at the Uffizi, Florence, Italy.
The Adoration of Christ, but he never finishes the piece.
It would be more correct to say that this first painting was the work of Leonardo's master, Andrea del Verrocchio: Baptism of Christ.It is believed that two (rather small) parts of this was painted by Leonardo.
Leonardo Da Vinci's first painting was the "Virgin of the Rocks", it was completed in 1480
Leonardo da Vinci was an artist as well as an inventor. His first invention varies with history, but it may have been the parachute.
