The Last Supper revolutionized perspective with a single vanishing point drawing all eyes to Christ at the center, flanked by 12 apostles reacting to his revelation. Painted around 1495–1498, it measures 4.6 by 8.8 meters on a dry wall using experimental secco, causing deterioration. In narrative innovation, it outperforms David at #3, whose static singular form lacks the dynamic interplay of expressions; Leonardo's composition cost $300 million in modern value to protect against decay.
