An astounding example of precise perspective and rife with symbolism, “The Last Supper” by Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519), is one of his most renowned works. Centuries ahead of his time artistically, da Vinci also made enormous breakthroughs in the sciences, physiology and mathematics, often applying these principles to his art. The original of “The Last Supper” is a 15’ x 29’ mural in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. It was groundbreaking in its authentic depiction of human emotions and reactions, as well as its command of one-point perspective that draws attention to Jesus in center.
