First of all, I was surprised that this was not a framed painting, but a mural that measures 15 × 29 feet. It doesn't have the vibrant colors and high resolution that we are used to seeing in reproduced prints. Da Vinci's The Last Supperis inside the Dominican convent of Santa Maria Delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. In order to preserve this masterpiec...
