Gott skick. Skyddsomslaget slitet med liten pappersförlust i ryggens nedre del. Engelsk text. Illustrerad. Ur omslagstexten: Leonardo's LAST SUPPER in S. Maria delle Grazie, Milan, is one of the most famous of all paintings. Countless copies and reproductions have been dispersed all over the world, in schools and homes in places of worship of both catholic and protestant denominations, for Leonardo's compelling image has overridden all doctrinal and other divisions of the Church (...) In this book, the doyen of Leonardo studies, Professor Ludwig Heydenreich investigates the prehistory of the composition in earlier renderings of the same subject - the circumstances of its execution, the reasons for its immediate success, and the story of its gradual decay. A full-colour pull-out of the work appears at the end of the book.
