Additional Information & Description
Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper brings one of the world’s most celebrated works of art into focus on this guided tour in Milan. See the masterpiece at Santa Maria delle Grazie, with expert commentary that helps you look beyond its familiar image and understand the work in greater detail.
Read the painting with an expert
A professional English-speaking guide leads the tour, explaining the painting’s history, Leonardo’s techniques and the symbolism behind its figures. The commentary connects the details you see with the ideas behind them, giving you more to consider than the image alone. Rather than simply viewing the work, you can follow an expert’s explanation of how Leonardo created it and why its details matter. English is the confirmed live-guide language for this tour.
The commission behind the masterpiece
The painting also has a story of patronage and creative challenges. Leonardo is thought to have worked on The Last Supper between 1495 and 1498, following a commission from Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. Your guide explores how that commission came about and the difficulties Leonardo faced in bringing his vision to life. This historical context adds a distinct perspective to the visit: the work takes shape not only as a celebrated image, but as a demanding artistic undertaking.
