Chapter 176 Annuo’s Virgin and Child

February 1469.

Italy, Florence.

What appeared at the city gate was a strange man sitting on top of the carriage.

The strange man is not very old, but he has long black hair that seems to cover the sky, and is blown by the warm spring wind.

It's Anno.

He jumped down from the carriage.

He took out two pieces of paper from the box and handed them to the guard at the city gate.

"This is my house deed and proof of identity. Please take a look at it."

The carriage drove into this huge city that he had been away from for nearly two years.

In the past two years, Annuo really went on a long-term trip, and he went to many places.

Berlin, Paris, Athens, Jerusalem, etc...

In these places, he felt the customs and customs that were completely different from those in Florence. At the same time, he also created art and enriched his knowledge and level.

Returning to the familiar three-story building, Annuo stepped out of the carriage, holding his long hair behind his back, the length almost touching the ground.

With a smile that couldn't be concealed, he pushed open the door of Verrocchio's studio.

Everyone in the studio looked at An Nuo.

Among them, the youngest one's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Lawrence!" Da Vinci ran over excitedly.

"Hey, Leonardo, everyone, I'm back." After more than a year of traveling, Annuo's personality has become much more cheerful.

Annuo and Da Vinci bumped fists, both of them smiling from the bottom of their hearts.

In Verrocchio's studio, although Leonardo arrived last and Anno only got along with Leonardo for about half a year, the relationship between the two was the best.

Handsome people always have more things in common, right? And both of them are equally talented.

After everyone reacted, they also gathered around to welcome An Nuo who had returned from the trip.

"Welcome back, Lawrence!" Verrocchio excitedly held Anno's hand.

Annuo took the initiative to hug Verrocchio: "Long time no see, teacher!"

Creedy showed a twisted expression, but he immediately turned it around.

An Nuo and several senior fellow apprentices hugged each other one after another, it was very lively.

Verrocchio clapped his hands: "In order to welcome Lawrence back, I decided to hold a luncheon on the second floor at noon!"

"Lawrence, tell me about what you encountered while traveling." Leonardo da Vinci patted Annuo on the shoulder. He had grown a lot taller now, and there was only two scalps difference in height between him and Annuo.

"Don't worry, I'll get the things down first." Annuo showed a mysterious smile.

Verrocchio instantly understood Annuo's plan: "Hoho, it looks like this is an eye-opener."

Annuo grabbed the corner of his clothes and showed a shy smile: "It's not an eye-opener, it's just some works during the trip."

Annuo clapped his hands, and two servants moved down two boxes, one large and one small.

"During this more than a year of travel, I didn't produce many works. Oil paintings were the most numerous. I painted a total of eleven paintings. As for jewelry, because I was traveling and was short of money, I only made four small objects. Hehe." He scratched his head.

Open the box, and what appears inside is Annuo's work.

Annuo took out one: "Teacher, look at this painting?"

Verrocchio showed a surprised expression: "This is..."

"Picture of the Virgin and Child?" Da Vinci took the words and looked at the oil painting in Anno's hand.
