Painter, sculptor, architect, designer, theorist and scientist Leonardo Da Vinci created some of the most famous images in European art and after the huge success of the Da Vinci exhibition at The National Gallery we have arranged a superb new tour to visit Milan and view what is most arguably his best piece of work 'The Last Supper' which he painted for the wall of the refectory of Santa Maria della Grazie.
Join Dr Peter Higginson, an expert art historian, who will help you see this hugely important work by the unparalleled Da Vinci in the context of when it was painted and give you a glimpse into the background of the painter himself, as well as visiting some of Milan's best art galleries and churches, where you will discover a whole wealth of wonderful art from the greatest artists of both Italy and Europe.
