The Last Supper in detail
October 30th, 2007
The “The Last Supper” has truly gone online, in the sense that it has been photographed in such detail and put online for free public viewing that in all likelihood, you’d never see it in this kind of detail, even if you go to Italy to see it for yourself.
If you didn’t know it already, it’s the world-famous 15th century mural (wall) 15ft x 29ft painting in Milan, Italy by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest artists of all time, who also created the mother of all paintings, the Mona Lisa.
Da Vinci started work on the project in 1495 (some say 1494) and took 3 years (some say 4) to complete it. Yes, it was already completed more than 10 years before the fall of Melaka to the Portugese.
This mural is further steeped in popular culture via the blockbuster Da Vinci Code.
