Leonardo da Vinci and The Last Supper
29.99 €
In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci began work on The Last Supper, a mural that was destined to become one of the most famous and influential works in the history of world art. After ten years of service at the court of the Milanese Duke Lodovico Sforza, Leonardo's affairs were deplorable: in his 43 years, he had not yet had time to create something truly worthy of his brilliant talent. Order for a wall painting in the refectory of the Dominican monastery was a small consolation, and the chances of the artist for success - ghostly. Leonardo has never had to work on such a monumental pictorial work, he had no experience in the extremely complex technique of fresco. Against the backdrop of war, political intrigue and religious upheaval, suffering from the insecurity of his own position and agonizing over past failures, Leonardo created a masterpiece that glorified his name for centuries. Debunking the many myths that have shrouded The Last Supper since its creation, Ross King proves that the true story of Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated creation is more fascinating than any of them.
