One wall in Milan changed painting. In the refectory of the Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie — a complex begun in 1463 and reworked by Bramante late in the 15th century — Leonardo da Vinci created The Last Supper between 1495 and 1497, a masterpiece without rival that opened a new era in art. Church, convent and mural were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage in 1980.
