About this work

Artist: Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)
Year: 1495–1498
Medium: Tempera and oil on plaster (wall painting)
Original size: 460 × 880 cm
Collection: Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan
Movement: Renaissance

Christ sits at the centre of a long table in a coffered hall, the window behind him framing his head, while the twelve apostles recoil in four groups of three at his words that one of them will betray him. Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, commissioned the mural for the refectory of the Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and Leonardo worked on it from about 1495 to 1498. Rather than true fresco he used tempera and oil on a dry ground so that he could work slowly and revise, and the paint began to flake within his lifetime. The wall has since survived failed restorations, Napoleonic troops quartered in the room, and an Allied bomb that struck the refectory in August 1943, when sandbagging protected it. A twenty-one-year restoration led by Pinin Brambilla Barcilon ended in 1999, removing centuries of overpaint; much of what remains is fragile and some areas were left in neutral tones. It is still on the end wall of the refectory in Milan.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Christ and the twelve apostles along a white table in a grey coffered hall, muted and orderly, made for a dining room above a sideboard at 24×36 in black. A warm white or stone wall; it pairs with The School of Athens.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is The Last Supper in the public domain?

Yes. Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Santa Maria delle Grazie.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Last Supper painted, and in what medium?

The Last Supper dates from 1495–1498 and was made in tempera and oil on plaster (wall painting); the original measures 460 × 880 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For The Last Supper we'd choose 24×36.
