The Last Supper

This painting is a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, depicting the part of the Bible where Jesus announces at dinner that one of his 12 loyal supporters (apostles) will betray him before sunrise.

This version is oil paint on canvas, whereas Leonardo's version was painted in tempera and oil on a dry wall – an unusual use of materials – so has flaked and deteriorated badly. It probably didn't help that Napoleon used the original Last Supper's room as a stable during his invasion of Milan.
