THE LAST SUPPER!!!!
Jesus Christ's feet were gone coz some stupid bugger built a door underneath it
to make way to the kitchen -_-"
The painting was almost destroyed throughout the centuries
through war and bombs
the painting depicts the facial expression and body language of Jesus Christ's apostlesafter he uttered that "One of you will betray me"
well of coz it's not a true fresco
u know Leonardo and his subtle nuances....so typical of him
we've seen quite a number of his works during this trip
opposite the hall is the painting of "The Crucifixion" by Montorfanoit depicts the sacrifice of Christ and u can see Magdalen hugs the cross at the bottom
I think the pic I took do no justice to this mural
U all should go and see it for yourself :)
and be mesmerised by it

Entrance fee Euro 8 per person = RM 40

Entrancing!
Hey! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the last supper tickets in your area. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about the last supper tickets. Keep it up!
A first restoration was attempted in 1726 by Michelangelo Bellotti, who filled in missing sections with oil paint then varnished the whole mural. This repair did not last well and another restoration was attempted in 1770 by Giuseppe Mazza. Mazza stripped off Bellotti's work then largely repainted the painting; he had redone all but three faces when he was halted due to public outrage. In 1796 French revolutionary anti-clerical troops used the refectory as an armory; they threw stones at the painting and climbed ladders to scratch out the Apostles' eyes. The refectory was then later used as a prison; it is not known if any of the prisoners may have damaged the painting. In 1821 Stefano Barezzi, an expert in removing whole frescoes from their walls intact, was called in to remove the painting to a safer location; he badly damaged the center section before realizing that Leonardo's work was not a fresco. Barezzi then attempted to reattach damaged sections with glue. From 1901 to 1908, Luigi Cavenaghi first completed a careful study of the structure of the painting, then began cleaning it. In 1924 Oreste Silvestri did further cleaning, and stabilised some parts with stucco.
