An art book that begins in Milan, 1496, wherein a 44-year-old Leonardo da Vinci has a reputation for taking on commissions and failing to complete them. He is in a state of professional uncertainty and financial difficulty. This tells the complete story of the creation of the Last Supper, the adversities suffered by the artist during its execution, the experimental techniques he employed, the people involved and more. Both a record of da Vinci's last five years in Milan and a 'biography' of one of the world's most famous pictures.
