The Last Supper, a complex and ambitious work of art believed to have been completed at the end of the 15th century, is found in the refectory of the church and is a stunning depiction of Christ and his disciples just moments after Christ revealed his knowledge of Judas's impending betrayal.

The history behind the painting is quite unique. Leonardo da Vinci painted his masterpiece directly onto a dry wall of the refectory using oil pigments, a departure from the conventional fresco technique, which would have required the artist to work quickly on a wet plaster. He chose this technique because it afforded him time to work at a slower pace, but unfortunately the process caused the paint to flake and crack within a few years from completion. The first attempt to restore this impressive work, which spans 460 x 880 cm (15 x 29 feet), was made in the 1700s, but it was unsuccessful and work continued on the through the centuries. In 1978 a major restoration attempt was made, and after more than 22 years of painstaking work, the masterpiece is now free of grime, dust and scaffolding and can be seen in its glory.
