This work is painted on a wall. It is 29 feet long by 15 feet tall. In 101 Things You Didn't Know About Da Vinci Shana Priwer and Cynthia Phillips write, "Duke Ludovico Sforza, Leonardo's patron at the time, commissioned the painting. Sforza had selected the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie as his family chapel, and Leonardo was hired to paint a large mural of the Last Supper on one wall of the refecctory (a room where meals are served)."
