THE LAST SUPPER

-

Painted on the wall of a former Dominican Convent at Santa Maria delle Grazie, this fresco has undergone numerous restoratio­ns since its original compositio­n. Leonardo carried out numerous preparatio­ns before he began work on The Last Supper, including creating a number of preparator­y sketches. The size of The Last

Supper is incredibly impressive, at 4.6 metres high by eight metres wide.
