The Last Supper – Free Audio Guide

The Last Supper (Italian: il Cenacolo or L’Ultima Cena) is a mural painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated 1495 – 1498. It is housed in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
The painting represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus with the 12 Apostles, as it is told in the Gospel of John – specifically the moment after Jesus announces that one of his apostles will betray him.
Its handling of space, mastery of perspective, treatment of motion, and complex display of human emotion have made it one of the Western world’s most recognizable paintings and among Leonardo’s most celebrated works. Some specialists consider it pivotal in considering the transition into what is now termed the High Renaissance.
