His workshop was discovered during restoration of part of the monastery occupied for the past 100 years by the Institute of Military Geography. Cristina Acidini, head of conservation and restoration in Florence, said it was an emotional moment when the worskhop was found.
Giorgio Vasari, the Renaissance biographer and artist, recorded in his Lives of the Artists that the friars of the monastery took him into their house and met all his expenses and that of his household. But his workshop had never been identified until now.
We need to do more research, but these frescoes are very encouraging, Signora Acidini told the Florence newspaper La Nazione.
One striking fresco depicts the face of a winged angel flanked by birds, thought to be a representation of the Annunciation. Scholars said it bore a resemblance to an Annunciation by Leonardo in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Alessandro Vezzosi, a leading Leonardo expert, said the discovery of the workshop will enable scholars better to understand the context in which Leonardo worked.

Would be cool to find more unpublished work from him.
