The Last Supper, Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci painted the Last Supper in 1495-98.  And behind the Mona Lisa hanging in the Louvre is his second most famous painting.

As you can see in my photograph above, the painting commands the end wall of the dining hall at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.

As a child growing up in the midwest, da Vinci’s Last Supper was my first introduction to the world of art as my mother had a copy of it hanging on the wall in our living room.
