Leonardo da Vinci | The Last Supper (encore)

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages - Un pódcast de Kyle Wood

As I know many high school students around the US are prepping for the AP Art History test, I thought it would be nice to put out an episode on one of the required works from the AP Art History curriculum. One Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous works is not housed in a museum. It is in the Convent of Santa Maria in Milan Italy. It seems totally fitting for a depiction of the last supper was painted on the wall in the convent’s dining hall. Visitors today are often surprised by how enormous the work it. The People are life sized on this massive 15 by 29 foot painting. Another surprising fact is that while people flock to see Leonardo’s work on the wall of the convent, very little if any of what we see there today was actually painted by Leonardo.
