The Last Supper (Leonardo)

Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' is one of the most famous and revered paintings in the world, located in the refectory of the Dominican convent adjacent to Santa Maria delle Grazie. Painted between 1495 and 1498, this monumental mural captures the dramatic moment when Jesus announces that one of his apostles will betray him. The work is renowned for its masterful use of perspective, emotional depth, and innovative composition. Due to its fragile condition, access is strictly limited to small groups for 15-minute visits. The experience is intimate and awe-inspiring, as you stand in the very room where Leonardo worked. The painting's faded beauty, despite centuries of restoration, adds to its poignancy. A visit here is a pilgrimage for art lovers and a highlight of any trip to Milan.
