Restorations and damage.

This painting depicts The Last Supper, Christ’s final meal. Immortalized by
Leonardo da Vinci in his work created for the refectory of the convent of
Santa Maria delle Grazie, this composition stands as one of the pinnacles of
Italian Quattrocento painting.

Hippolyte Flandrin, a student of Ingres, is considered one of the leading figures
in the revival of French religious painting in the 19th century. His discovery
of the Italian masters, particularly Quattrocento painting, had a profound
influence on his work. Our painting draws on these traditions inherited from Italy
while prioritizing draftsmanship, in perfect accordance with the teachings of the
Ingres school.
