Why The Last Supper matters
Leonardo painted this scene of Jesus and his disciples on a refectory wall in the late 15th century. It has faded and been restored many times, yet still captivates visitors with its drama and perspective. Visits are limited to small groups for short slots, so book far ahead.
Talking points
- It was painted on a dining-room wall, not canvas.
