This mural painting, created in the late 15th-century was completed 3 years after work was started in 1495. Located in Milan’s Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, it is hailed as one of the most iconic paintings by Leonardo da Vinci.

The original painting has a dimension of 15 ft x 28.8 ft (460 cm x 880 cm). It is well known that 'The Last Supper' depicts the last meal of Jesus with his 12 apostles. This event was followed by his capture and crucifixion. However, Da Vinci was keener to capture the reactions of the apostles through the painting when they came to learn of Jesus’ knowledge about a betrayer. The expressions captured on their faces are what makes the painting even more captivating.

It is among those famous Christian paintings that underwent several rounds of restoration to survive the test of time. The tempera-on-stone experiment of Da Vinci was not very successful. The paint started decaying and flaking as early as the 16th century. There were several restoration efforts that left little of the original painting intact.

The Birth of Venus, Sandro Botticelli: 5′ 8 ft × 9′ 2 ft (177 cm × 280 cm). The painting is in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy;
