Christian art boasts many immortal masterpieces, but none has portrayed the mystery of Christianity more compellingly than Leonardo's Last Supper. Thanks to the recent restoration, which uncovered the remnants of the original paint and removed misleading overpainting, we are now able, five hundred years after its creation, to encounter the image in its original form for the first time. Michael Ldwein focuses on numerous recovered details that can contribute to a new interpretation and illuminates the facets of a work whose artistic and spiritual message remains as poignant in our time as ever.
