Question

Did you know? Da Vinci's "Last Supper" was reopened in 1999 after 21 years of restoration — over 80% of the surface had been painted over by previous "restorers". The current version shows more Da Vinci than for 200 years — but also less, because much detail is permanently lost.

Accepted Answer

Da Vinci's "Last Supper" was reopened in 1999 after 21 years of restoration — over 80% of the surface had been painted over by previous "restorers". The current version shows more Da Vinci than for 200 years — but also less, because much detail is permanently lost.

Da Vinci's "Het Laatste Avondmaal" werd in 1999 na 21 jaar restauratie heropend — meer dan 80% van het oppervlak was overgeschilderd door eerdere "restauratoren". De huidige versie toont meer Da Vinci dan in 200 jaar het geval was — maar ook minder, omdat veel detail voor altijd verloren is.
