Leonardo and the Last Supper, is a 2011 book written by Ross King, a Canadian novelist and non-fiction writer.

[1] Leonardo da Vinci's painting of The Last Supper in the former refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan took him and his team of assistants about three years to complete.

This proved to be a disaster as on a wall prone to damp, the paint surface quickly deteriorated.

[2][3] In a positive review for The Guardian, Charles Nicholl wrote; "King has the gift of clear, unpretentious exposition, and an instinctive narrative flair.

"[2] Michiko Kakutani, writing for The New York Times called the book a "gripping account" and wrote that, although there is not much new research, King does a "fluent and insightful job of weaving together all his research.
