Leonardo da Vinci, considered a true Renaissance man, was not only a painter but mastered a wide range of disciplines which can all be seen in this fresco. Your guide will share with you da Vinci’s geometric composition with Christ as the central figure, and the stylistic choice of diagonally positioning his disciples, providing the illusion of connecting Christ with them.
Uniquely enough, historians have discovered a musical composition hidden in this very painting. A 40-second hymn which, when interpreted, sounds something like a requiem. This genius piece of work is not only something to be seen but something to be heard as well.
