Adjoining the church is a modest building, known as the Cenacolo Vinciano. It was built by Solari as the refectory for the Dominicans and is now famous for the masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, who painted The Last Supper between 1495 and 1498 on request of Ludovico il Moro. The artist depicts the moment after Jesus tells his disciples that one of them will betray him. The work shows their surprise with realistic facial expressions, lively poses and subtle light. www.aviewoncities.com/milan/santamariadellegrazie.htm
