The Annunciation is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci showing the the arch-angel delivering to Mary that she would be the future mother to Jesus of Nazareth.
Painted between 1472 and 1475, Leonardo's Annunciation was eventually purchased by Ezio Auditore and placed in the gallery at the Villa Auditore.Assassin's Creed II The painting was later taken during the Papal attack on Monteriggioni in 1500,Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood – The Da Vinci Disappearance – A Roll of the Dice led by the Templar Cesare Borgia.Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood – Vilified
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.
Ezio travelled to Belriguardo and, after tricking Lucrezia into revealing the painting's location, regained it for himself.Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood – The Da Vinci Disappearance – The One Who Got Away
