Painting Description
''The Last Supper'' (Italian: ''Il Cenacolo'' or ''L'Ultima Cena'') is a late 15th-century mural painting by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci housed by the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. It is one of the most admired, most studied, and most reproduced paintings the world has ever known. The work is assumed to have been started around 1495–96 and was commissioned as part of a renovation plan for the church and its convent buildings by Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. The painting represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus with his apostles, as told in the Gospel of John, 13:21. Leonardo has depicted the consternation that occurred among the Twelve Disciples when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him.
Da Vinci's ''The Last Supper'' measures 460 cm × 880 cm (180 in × 350 in) and covers an end wall of the dining hall at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The innovative technique used by Leonardo resulted in a less durable work, one that was subject to deterioration within a few years of completion. Leonardo painted ''The Last Supper'' on a dry wall rather than on wet plaster, so it is not a true fresco. He chose to seal the stone wall with a layer of pitch, gesso, and mastic, then painted over it with tempera, which has made the work susceptible to flaking and decay over the years.
The painting has been restored numerous times; the most recent major restoration was completed in 1999, where various scientific methods were employed to restore the original colors as closely as possible, and to eliminate traces of paint applied in previous attempts to restore the artwork.
''The Last Supper'' has been the subject of numerous scholarly studies and writings, particularly concerning its artistic merit and its interpretation. The painting's composition, in which Jesus is centered among yet isolated from the Apostles, has influenced both religious and secular art. The expressions and body language of the figures around Jesus have been subjects of a wide range of interpretations, with many scholars debating the identities of the Apostles and the significance of their gestures.
As one of the most iconic works of the Renaissance, ''The Last Supper'' is an essential subject in the fields of art history and Christian theology, and has permeated popular culture as well. Its fame intensified when it was featured in the plot of the best-selling novel ''The Da Vinci Code'', which proposed a controversial interpretation of the painting. Despite its fame and the challenges of conservation, the painting remains one of Leonardo's most revered and recognized works, embodying his genius for composition and his deep understanding of human emotion.
