The last supper is under renovation. Most of the painting over the years has been painted over by other artists.

The restoration of the painting was necessary because it actually is in a dining room

One of the most interesting facts that I have learn although it might be well know is that he was never able to complete Jesus face out of respect and reverence, I have also heard it said he used his face in the painting.

My favorite fact about the painting is that it was actually a Jewish Seder, probably for Passover and not a supper. This is fascinating and worthy of an entire paper itself. Probably a bit controversial as well. This is a relatively new theory- when I studied Art History we weren't taught this.
