THE LAST SUPPER

About The Last Supper

Leonardo’s innovative use of light, shadow, and realistic human expressions breathes life into the scene, making it one of the most studied and revered works in art history. Unfortunately, the painting has suffered significant deterioration over the centuries due to environmental factors and Leonardo’s experimental technique of using tempera on dry plaster. Despite numerous restorations, The Last Supper remains a profound symbol of Renaissance art and continues to attract millions of visitors from around the world, who are captivated by its emotional depth and technical brilliance. The painting’s enduring legacy not only lies in its artistic innovation but also in its ability to convey a powerful narrative that resonates across time and cultures.
