From The life of Leonardo da Vinci by John William Brown( published in 1828)
The most considerable of Leonardo's undertakings were those painted on the walls of the Refectory in the Convent of the Madonna dells Grazia at Milan; but, unfortunately, little remains of them to establish his fame in the present day. His grand painting of "The Last Supper", and his portrait of the Duke Ludovico Il Moro, the Duchess Beatrice d'Este, and their Children, are nearly defaced; and in addition to the ravages of time, the figure of our Saviour, which he painted on the wall, is destroyed by the enlargement of a doorway. more
From The life of Leonardo da Vinci by John William Brown( published in 1828)
The subject chosen by the Duke of Milan to exercise the talents of this great artist, was the last supper of Jesus Christ with the twelve Apostles; and the moment represented is described in the 26th chapter of St. Matthew; and the 21st and 22nd verses: "And as they did eat he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me; and they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?" This interesting subject required a perfect knowledge of the human mind. It was necessary to enter minutely into the personal character of every individual, in order to give to each the proper action and expression. The artist has surmounted this difficulty, and has given an admirable variety of action and expression, according to the disposition of those whom he represented. more
