"The Last Supper"

The Museum of the Last Supper by Andrea del Sarto, in Florence, is found in some rooms, originally the ancient Vallombrosa monastery of San Salvi, and gets its name from the famous fresco by Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530) on the walls of the refectory.

The work, 5 metres long and 8 metres tall, was completed between 1526 and 1527; miraculously saved from the siege of Florence in 1530, it represents a very high moment in the production of the Florentine painter, of whom other important works are preserved here. The fresco is placed about a large arch where there are medallion paintings with the Trinity and four protecting Saints of the Vallombrosa order.
