thanks,
guys from Oprano mailed me this:


Leonardo's Last Supper signposted Cenacolo Vinciano is one of the world's great paintings and most resonant images. However, art of this magnitude doesn't come easy: visits must be booked by telephone preferably 3 or 4 days in advance (reservations MonFri 9am7pm tel 02.8942.1146; viewing TuesSat 9am6.30pm, Sun 9am7.30pm; L12,000/¬6.20, plus L2000/¬1.03 obligatory booking fee). Henry James likened the painting to an "illustrious invalid" that people visited with "leave-taking sighs and almost death-bed or tip-toe precautions"; certainly it's hard, when you visit the painting, decayed and faded on the refectory wall, not to feel that it's the last time you'll see it. Restoration is virtually perpetual due to its fragile nature, but the main part of the fresco is free from scaffolding. That the work survived at all is something of a miracle. Leonardo's decision to use oil paint rather than the more usual faster-drying and longer-lasting fresco technique with watercolours led to the painting disintegrating within five years of its completion. A couple of centuries later Napoleonic troops billetted here used the wall for target practice. And in 1943 a bomb destroyed the building, amazingly leaving only the Last Supper's wall standing. Well-meaning restoration over the centuries has also meant that little of Leonardo's original colouring has survived, but despite this the painting still retains its power. Leonardo spent two years on it, searching the streets of Milan for models. When the monks complained that the face of Judas was still unfinished, Leonardo replied that he had been searching for over a year among the city's criminals for a sufficiently evil face, and that if he didn't find one he would use the face of the prior. Whether or not Judas's face is modelled on the prior's is unrecorded, but Leonardo's Judas does seem, as Vasari wrote, "the very embodiment of treachery and inhumanity".
