The last supper is a masterpiece and it is only well appreciated when you know the story behind it.

Italian National Church of Mary of the Snows or Minorities' Church – Minoritenkirche The Minoritenkirche stands in the Innere Stadt of Vienna, at the Minoritenplatz. The site on which the church is built was given to followers of Francis of Assisi in 1224. The Minoriten were Franciscan monks (Latin: "fratres minores"). The foundation stone of church was laid in 1276.

We recently returned to the Church of the Minorites (Minoritenkirche) to see the replica of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" which quietly hangs on the north wall of the church. This is a life-size, early 19th century piece created by Italian mosaicist, Giacomo Raffaelli. It is quite beautiful and well worth seeing in Vienna if you are a lover of art. Originally commissioned by Napoleon in 1809, this piece was left unfinished after Napolean's abdication from power in 1814. Shortly afterwards, Austria's Emperor Francis II bought the replica with intentions of having it installed at the Belvedere. Incredibly, the size of the Last Supper replica was too large for any of the walls at Belvedere so an alternative place was needed for this treasure. The Church of the Minorites, which has significant ties to Italy, being also referred to as the Italian National Church of Mary of the Snow, was the chosen venue to house Raffaelli's life-size 'Last Supper' replica. Today, you can see the mosaic masterpiece, resting peacefully upon a vast stretch of wall space in this lovely and quiet church in Vienna. Overall, we very much enjoy seeing this Last Supper replica in Vienna. For those who have not been to the Santa Maria delle Grazie Church in Milan to see the Da Vinci masterpiece, this mosaic is in very good condition and a good replica. It is also a nice reminder of the original Last Supper for those who have been fortunate enough to have seen it in Milan.
