A (really) close look at the Last Supper

Posted November 12th @ 5:24 pm by Andy Print This Post

An online tool lets you focus in on da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper to an unbelievable level of detail. (Use the zoom bar in the bottom center to zoom in and out of the painting.) Who needs the physical painting when it’s been digitized so thoroughly?

There’s some good basic info about the painting at Wikipedia if you want to learn more about the painting and the ongoing challenge of preserving it.

This is a truly remarkable way to view one of the most venerated paintings in the Christian world.It has been a long time since my college course on art history. I had no idea it had restored so many times. This will definetly will be forwarded to friends and family. Keep up the good work Think Christian.
