The Last Supper

The Last Supper is a giant painting that was made by Leonardo da Vinci in 1495 A.D, and it has an area of 40.48sqm. The painting depicts Jesus having his last meeting with his apostles (his most loyal disciples) as he is about to be crucified. The painting is considered to be one of the greatest of all time, and is currently being displayed in the end wall of the dining room at the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Because the painting was on a thin wall, the painting could deteriorate, in fact; only 60 years later the painting was described as ruined by Giorgio Vascari, who was Leonardo’s biographer.
