Madonna and Child with Flowers otherwise known as the Benois Madonna could be one of two Madonnas Leonardo da Vinci had commented on having started in October 1478. The other one could be Madonna of the Carnation from Munich.It is likely that the Benois Madonna was the first work painted by Leonardo independently from his master Verrocchio. There are two of Leonardo’s preliminary sketches for this piece in the British Museum.
