The Last Supper is a large (6.5' × 25') oil painting on canvas by the Italian Renaissance artist Plautilla Nelli, one of only four women artists mentioned in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists.[1] Nelli was a nun at the Dominican monastery of Santa Caterina in Florence and painted The Last Supper for its refectory.[1] The painting was largely ignored until the 1990s; it was restored in the 2010s.[2]
