In the spring of 1999 a small team of experts, led by the renowned Italian art restorer Pinin Brambilla, concluded the mammoth task of restoring Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper.
Da Vinci had been commissioned to paint the fresco on a wall in Milan's convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in 1498. But due to his poor choice of materials, paint had begun to flake off even during his lifetime. Brambilla's restoration involved removing five layers of paint from previous botched restorations and restoring key features and objects. The painstaking job of cleaning, dabbing and repainting the four-and-a-half metre high fresco cost millions of dollars and took Pinin and her colleagues more than 20 years.
Now in her 90s, Pinin Brambilla, who still works in her studio in Milan, told Witness about this labour of love that consumed half of her professional life.

This job had to be a huge honor. I am the least sentimental as they come, but when it comes to iconic images, working directly on one to take care of it even, such a huge weight. I guess the more the honor the greater the need for success.

Restoration is almost unbelievable and inhuman dedication. This woman deserves as much praise as Leonardo ! Every single person save two has facial hair. The third to Christ's left, who is clearly no woman - and the figure immediately to his right. If that is not a woman, then sex-changes are happening about two thousand years late !

@@rhiannonwilliams9125 are you interested in seeing just how amazing the Last Supper really Is? For one thing (I have been working on the Disguised Script of Da Vinci --some call them the Riddles) but once we have the ciphers they are no longer Riddles. They are the same Ciphers of Nostradamus in his Letter 32 written in Latin - where he mentions the Triple Method - which I found by accident. I will put one link here about how Nostradamus appeared "in the artists studio - so I painted him in... " The Last Supper - around J (for Julian) 487 - 16 years before Nostradamus was even born. Then I was given the "how to" find the Anu family in the Last Supper (at each lemon - axe, cut and mirror - he said) And THAT gave the most amazing results. What a genius he was.

@@rhiannonwilliams9125 The Julian kalends began 46BCE, some say 44BCE because the month of July appeared then. Turns out that Jesus was crucified Easter J79 CE, same year as Pompeii-Vesuvius. Our own calendars were always Julian, Jesus died at 33 - add 33 to 46 [BCE] and you get 79CE. The Earthquake under the cross? caused by the Passing Over... so was Vesuvius. It was the JULIAN calendar pope Gregory was fiddling with to repair in October J582... not I582. So in Julian 583, pope Greg changed the Greek i (their form of J) to a number 1 for FISCAL reasons and this is how we got the accounting year of January to Yule/christ mass. But changing i to 1 ADDED 1000 years. But 90 years later in J676, prince Otto in the July (when the Thames froze solid) began a new calendar calling it 1000A.D. (which stands for Ante diem - before the day) - in this way he threw away (deleted) 324 years. So Greg adds 1000, Otto takes 324 - leaving us with 676 years too many in our calendar. Remove 676 from 2021 = 1345CE.

if you want to know how it was when jesus told the apostles someone is going to betray him, this image is the closer you will get to experience it like you was there. The amount of movement and emotion in every gesture is just hipnotic for me. Then we can talk about all the geometry and mysteries involved in Leonardo's works so this painting reaches even more depth. Sorry for bad english anyway.

In the original face of Jesus, His mouth appears to be closed. It gives him an appearance of dejectedness or maybe disappointment, like He is deep in thought or silently hurting. In the restored version, his eyebrows are slightly more raised and pronounced, and his mouth is ajar. It shows more sorrow and defeat. It must seriously take great talent for a person to be able to express these emotions through painting.

To be fair... Zeitgeist is pretty loose with the facts. If you compare his version of the story of Horus against the actual myths of Horus it is amazing how little it has in common. Parts of Zeitgeist are great, but I was teaching a class and wanted to show the section on the different solar "Messiahs" as a interesting perspective, so I fact checked it first. I was disappointed and lost a lot of trust in the film. Not saying he is wrong about Christ and the Sun having a symbolic connection, just that Zeitgeist is a documentary willing to blatantly sacrifice facts in order to tell its own story.

the church never truly cared about homosexuality ( actually the church never truly cared about god at all ). many priests are gay. Many artists that worked for the pope or the curch were gays ( Michelangelo was known to be gay ). they just need a weak and easy enemy to point the finger against, everyone who is in power knows that there's no better way to rally people under you than giving them an enemy to be angry against.

To restore doesn't mean to add color but to make it look as close as it was when he made it, color fades away but it is the shapes that are important and those were lost and changed over time... She did great work at bringing back shape and feeling to the painting.. At this point adding colour would point away from more important meaning it has..
