Introduzione

The Church and Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, the home of Leonardo's Last Supper, has been listed as part of UNESCO's Worldwide Heritage since 1980 and is an exceptional masterpiece of human creativity and genius.Between 1495 and 1498, Leonardo da Vinci painted the whole wall of the refectory in the Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie with a fresco of The Last Supper, one of the most famous masterpieces in history. Extensive measures have been implemented to protect the fresco from further exposure. To ensure that the fresco be kept at room temperature, since restoration the visitor intake has been restricted to a group of 25 admitted every 15 minutes.

History

The Last Supper was painted in the ambit of the extensive artistic and cultural revival that from 1490 involved Milan, under the patronage of Ludovico Sforza - “il Moro”. The Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie was fully involved and in 1495, when Donato Montorfano was completing his Crucifixion for the Refectory, Leonardo was commissioned by the Duke to decorate the facing wall with a Last Supper. The commission is documented by the coats of arms that appear within plant garlands in the four lunettes above the “Supper” and are a reminder of the names of Ludovico, Beatrice and their children.

The Last Supper was quite slow in evolving despite the urgings of Ludovico Sforza and the prior. It actually took Leonardo about four years (1494-1498), Leonardo abandoning the traditional method of fresco painting, depicted the scene “a secco” on the wall of the refectory. Upon completion however, it was documented that this technique and enviromental factors had contributed to the eventual deterioration of the fresco, that has undergone numerous restorations.The most recent being 1999, where various scientific methods were employed to restore the original colours and where possible to remove the traces of paint applied from previous attempts to restore the fresco.
