Painted on a refectory wall in Milan, this mural captures the charged moment Christ announces that one of the twelve will betray him. Leonardo's experimental oil-on-plaster technique began deteriorating within his lifetime, making it one of history's most-restored works. Its rigorous perspective draws every line toward Christ's head.
