shows the two best historical copies of Da Vinci's Last Supper fresco, that had been deteriorating quickly already decades after it was finished in 1498. These two high quality copies are nearly identical and were originally (nearly) full size canvas versions, that have been used as reference for restauration of the fresco. Studies have shown that these faithful copies were produced in Leonardo's studio by his best students within 20 years of the original, probably under supervision by Leonardo. Research has shown that (with high likelihood), the Tongerlo (Belgium) version was ordered by the King of France directly from Leonardo after seeing the original fresco (see paper by Isbouts and Brown). Its original size (462x828) was nearly exactly that of the fresco (460x880). The London (UK) version was slighly smaller and further reduced in width with the upper part cut (to the current 300x780). Double click further to get high resolution version.
