BIG PIC: Da Vinci's 'Last Supper' in Vivid Detail
-
Nov. 30, 2009 -- More than 500 years after Leonardo da Vinci painted The Last Supper, Leonardo3, a media company based out of Milan, has digitally reconstructed da Vinci's masterpiece.
The team assembled the image based on hundreds of high-definition photographs of the original mural. They also looked at contemporary copies of The Last Supper, such as the one by Giampietrino, a painter influenced by da Vinci.
Although The Last Supper in its current form appears faded and cracked, this 21st century recreation features bright, vivid colors that simulate the mural's original appearance.
