Last Supper Tours and Tickets

Duke Ludovico of Milan is behind the creation of Da Vinci’s masterpiece The Last Supper. The duke appropriated the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie to make it his court church. He wanted to design the church in a specific way that reflected wealth and power. That meant a great painting.

Leonardo began work on the north wall of the refectory in 1495 and completed it three years later, the complete mural covers an area of ​​4.5 x 8.8m. Contrary to belief, it is not a fresco, which requires quick and determined work before the wet plaster dries. Leonardo, however, preferred to take his time at work and was willing to change his mind, so he devised a new way of applying an egg-based paint. But in doing so, the smart Leonardo made a big mistake. The base of his painting was coated with pitch and mastic, which didn’t keep the pigments or as long as he’d hoped. From a point of view, the work was great. Leonardo created this wonderful illusion by driving a nail into the wall and threads coming off it.

The subject was common in churches, but Leonardo’s creation was to create movement by painting the period when Jesus announced that one of his disciples had betrayed him. What we see are the shaken reactions of the disciples. He also decided to line up all the participants in a straight line so that everyone gets attention. It is said that the faces in the work are based on real people known to him. Judas may have been a prisoner or criminal, and here Leonardo places him among the others. One can clearly see that Judas is the only one who doesn’t seem outraged.
