CALIFORNIA---"The Virgin and Child With Saint Anne," a highly prized painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the collection of the Louvre, is having a big year. And now a different version of the painting is on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum. Featured in the Paris exhibition and made in Leonardo's workshop, though not by the master himself, the luminous work will be shown with the Getty's Italian Renaissance paintings for an indefinite period — in return for analysis and treatment carried out in the museum's conservation lab.
