Da Vinci's Last Supper
One of your callers today reported with surprise on a "larger than
life" version of Da Vinci's Last Supper in a restaurant. I admit that
the last supper is hardly usual decor for an eating establishment in
the U.S. It is, however, entirely consistent with the size and
location of the original. Da Vinci's painting is a large mural. It
covers (not hangs on) the wall of what was, at the time, a refectory
(dining hall) of a church or monastery.
