The Last Supper Measures 460 Cm 880 Cm (180 In 350 In) And Covers An End Wall Of The Dining Hall At The Monastery Of Santa Maria Delle Grazie In Milan, Italy. The Theme Was A Traditional One For Refectories, Although The Room Was Not A Refectory At The Time That Leonardo Painted It. The Main Church Building Had Only Recently Been Completed (In 1498), But Was Planned By Ludovico Sforza To Be Remodeled As A Family Mausoleum. The Painting Was Commissioned By Sforza To Be The Centerpiece Of The Mausoleum. The Lunettes Above The Main Painting, Formed By The Triple Arched Ceiling Of The Refectory, Are Painted With Sforza Coats-Of-Arms. The Opposite Wall Of The Refectory Is Covered By The Crucifixion Fresco By Giovanni Donato Da Montorfano, To Which Leonardo Added Figures Of The Sforza Family In Tempera; These Figures Have Deteriorated In Much The Same Way As Has The Last Supper.
