Leonardo and The Last Supper Ross King

Despite his great genius, at the age of 43 DaVinci had failed to complete anything that was up to his gift. In 1495 he received the commission for The Last Supper, even though he had never worked in the medium of fresco, or done a project that large (15'h x 30'w). Ross King describes how despite what was going on around him and in his head, DaVinci would finish The Last Supper and he would be forever defined by it. King also explains the true story of the painting.
