Truthfully, very little of da Vinci's original painting remains today - most of it has been painstakingly restored. The work is presumed to have been commenced in 1495. The painting represents the scene of The Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples, as it is told in the Gospel of John, 13:21. Leonardo has depicted the consternation that occurred among the Twelve Disciples when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him.
