Additional Information & Description
Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper is one of the most famous works of art in the world. This small-group guided visit brings you close to the painting, with time devoted to understanding the work rather than simply seeing it.
A commission for the Duke of Milan
The visit takes you to the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, where the painting is located. Da Vinci is thought to have worked on it between 1495 and 1498 as part of a commission from Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. Your guide explains its history and significance, placing the artwork within the circumstances of its creation.
Reading the composition
Look at how da Vinci arranged Christ at the center, with the disciples placed around him. The guide discusses the techniques and ideas behind the painting, connecting what you can see with how the artwork was made. There is also a more speculative interpretation: some researchers believe a musical pattern is hidden in the work, which they interpret as a short hymn. Your guide may discuss this theory during the tour; it is not an established explanation of the painting.
