The Last SupperThe Last Supper was made using experimental pigments directly on the dry plaster wall and unlike frescos, where the pigments are mixed with the wet plaster, it has not stood the test of time well. Over the years it has crumbled, been vandalized bombed and restored. Today we are probably looking at very little of the original.

The Last Supper is located in Santa Maria Delle Grazie.
