Despite the ravages of time and human neglect and folly, the Last Supper remains one of the greatest works of art in the western world.  Ground breaking, breathtaking, a new creation, people at the time were amazed at a work of such power and creative genius. Even today with what little remains of Leonardo’s original his masterpiece continues to inspire and astound us. Jeffery Courtney will analyse what makes this painting so fascinating and enduring.
