“The Last Supper” (da Vinci attribution issues)

Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" depicts Jesus' final meal with his disciples, capturing a moment of emotional tension. However, the attribution to da Vinci is debated because other artists and workshops may have contributed to its creation. Over centuries, the painting has suffered damage from poor materials and restorations, complicating its authenticity and original appearance. While widely associated with da Vinci, some experts suggest it may contain elements by assistants or later restorers. Despite these issues, it remains a powerful and historically significant masterpiece, symbolizing the biblical event and Leonardo’s innovative approach to perspective and human emotion.
