Step into the world of Leonardo da Vinci on a 2-hour guided experience dedicated to The Last Supper and the historic complex of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan.
Begin your journey at Santa Maria delle Grazie, exploring the history of the church and Dominican convent. Learn how this important religious complex became closely connected with the Sforza family and Milan’s Renaissance court.
Your guide will then introduce the fascinating circumstances surrounding Leonardo’s commission. Discover why Leonardo was asked to create The Last Supper, what the original refectory was like, and how the painting was intended to transform the dining room of the convent.
As you approach Leonardo’s masterpiece, discover the story behind the scene. Learn about the moment depicted, the identities and relationships of the Apostles, and the dramatic reactions Leonardo used to tell the story through movement, gestures, and facial expressions.
Look carefully at the painting’s composition and visual structure. Your guide will explain Leonardo’s use of perspective, the central position of Christ, the arrangement of the Apostles, and the visual lines that lead the viewer toward the central figure.
You will also explore the “disappearing details” of the masterpiece. Discover how time, humidity, experimental painting techniques, wars, and previous restoration attempts affected Leonardo’s fragile work, and why some original details are difficult to see today.
Finally, uncover the extraordinary story of the painting’s restoration and conservation. Learn how generations of specialists worked to preserve Leonardo’s surviving image and why conservation continues to be essential to its future.
