No one has ever seen true the Last Supper. Is the Last Supper really masterpiece?
Original color wsa lost, almost the important fragments have fallen.
Only an outline exists.

What is true the Last Supper?
Digital restoration of the Last Supper Details-1
Digital restoration
I began digital restoration of The Last Supper 14 years ago.
At that time, Pinin Brambilla Barcilon finished restoration of The Last Supper, on 28 May 1999.
She removed everything that had been added after Leonardo finished the painting in 1498.
The restoration is an extremely wonderful work, but I have many grievances against The Last Supper.
The color, shape, details, contrast, atmosphere...
There were few things which I could be satisfied with, then I started digital restoration of The Last Supper on 2002.
A decade later, the digital restoration was finished and I uploaded the images to the website.

Project of the Salone dei Cinquecento - 2016.10.2
My final goal is "The Battle of Anghiari"
It was about 20 years ago that I went to the Salone dei Cinquecento for the first time.
The room is magnificent and luxurious. The fresco of Giorgio Vasari is powerful, too.
Unfortunately, the position of the picture is too high and is hard to appreciate it.
The several attempts made to find Da Vinci's original work behind the Vasari fresco have so far been inconclusive.
I believe that The Battle of Anghiari of Leonardo exists in somewhere in this room.
In 2016, I began the reconstruction of the
The Battle of Anghiari and The Battle of Cascina by Michelangelo.

Lost masterpiece, Leda and The Swan
[ left ] Reconstruction of the Leda and The Swan
Leda and the Swan is the lost masterpieces by Leonardo. It is obviously, Leonardo began the Leda and the Swan before 1504, Firenze. But unfortunately the original cartoon was lost. However the picture is known from many copies, of which the earliest are probably the Spiridon Leda, perhaps by a studio assistant and now in the Uffizi, and the one at Wilton House in England. Other copies by Leonardeschi include: Fernando Yanez de la Almedina, Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA (previously at John G. Johnson Collection, 1917), Giampietrino, from the collection of the Marquis of Hastings.
