Frescoes were a popular art form during the 15th century, but Leonardo da Vinci’s "The Last Supper" is in fact not a fresco but a mural. What's the difference? What made Leonardo da Vinci decide to paint a mural rather than a fresco? By booking this entrance ticket, you will find out!

As a practicing Christian, it meant a lot to me to be able to see this masterpiece. I can honestly say that seeing Da Vinci's Last Supper in person was a humbling experience. I felt a deep sense of connection and devotion, and I was completely mesmerized by the presence of this great work of art. The guide shared with us numerous stories about Leonardo da Vinci and his innovative technique, but also the religious context of 15th-century Italy. If you're in Milan, don't skip out on the Last Supper tickets!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Milan and seeing the Last Supper at the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. It was on my bucket list for a long time, and I can say the wait was worth it. I knew some facts before my visit, but I didn't know that this work of art was nearly destroyed during WW2. The guide told us that almost everything else in this monastic complex was destroyed during a bombing campaign, with many walls completely collapsing, but Da Vinci's Last Supper was left intact. The guide was also very extensive in the analysis of the motifs, techniques, and composition, and I really learned a lot about the history of art.

ONE OF LEONARDO DA VINCI'S GREATEST MASTERPIECES
By booking the Last Supper tickets, you'll gain access to one of history's most iconic artworks. Even though 500 years have passed, the legacy of Leonardo da Vinci still endures. A true Renaissance man, he was an accomplished sculptor, engineer, scientist, painter, and architect. One of his most famous works still decorates the wall of the dining room of the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery. Da Vinci's Last Supper is celebrated not only for his renowned name, but also for its innovative composition, groundbreaking technique, fresh perspective, and rich symbolism. During your time in front of one of da Vinci's greatest masterpieces, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights into its creation and significance.
LEONARDO DA VINCI'S EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUE
As you will find out from your knowledgeable guide, Leonardo da Vinci, a versatile innovator, used an experimental technique in creating "The Last Supper". It was customary for 15th-century painters to paint frescoes on a wet plaster surface. This approach was limiting when trying to portray details and using nuanced shades of various colors. Leonardo da Vinci, always a perfectionist, tried a different approach and painted a mural on a dry plaster using tempera and oil. Leonardo da Vinci managed to paint details that convey more emotion, individual expressions, and dynamic gestures of the Apostles. However, the dry plaster approach proved to be problematic, as the paint struggled to adhere and began deteriorating quickly. This led to many restorations in the following centuries. If you're in Milan, make sure to book the Last Supper tickets and learn more about the experimental techniques used by the great Leonardo da Vinci!
THE DRAMATIC MOMENT OF "THE LAST SUPPER"
By the 15th century there were already many paintings and frescoes depicting the motif of "The Last Supper". When Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned to paint his own version, he aimed to do something different. Most artists focused on the Eucharist or the moment Jesus washed the feet of his disciples before the meal. Da Vinci, however, chose a more unexpected and dramatic moment - the instant Jesus announces that one of the Apostles will betray him. The pivotal moment is captured in extraordinary detail, with each Apostle reacting uniquely. Your guide will describe and explain these reactions, including the treacherous Judas, clutching his purse with 30 silver coins of his betrayal.

Last Supper and The Da Vinci Code
In Dan Brown's bestselling book and subsequent movie, Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" plays a vital part in the plot. The story suggests that it is Mary Magdalene and not John the Apostle who sits by Jesus's right. In fact, the book claims that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the book analyzes the position and the space between Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, forming the letters "M" and "V". This suggests that there is a hidden meaning connected to the legend of the Holy Grail.
So, is there anything to it? What did Leonardo da Vinci try to tell us? Or rather, what was "The Da Vinci Code" trying to sell us? You will find the answer to these and many other intriguing questions from the licensed guide when you book The Last Supper tickets!
