One of the most famous wall murals is Leonardo da Vici’s The Last Supper. The painting represents the scene of The Last Supper of Jesus with his twelve disciples,The Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci Articles as it is told in the Gospel of John, 13:21. Leonardo depicted the atmosphere when Jesus saying “Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me”. The Last Supper is 460cm × 880 cm, painted in the dining room that is in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria della Graize in Milan, Italy. The painting was said to be began to paint in 1495 but was completed in 1498 as Leonardo da Vinci was probably working on other projects at the same time. 
The Last Supper specifically portrays the reaction of the twelve disciples when Jesus saying one of them would betray him. Leonardo seated the dinners on one side of the table, Jesus and his disciples are all face to the viewers so that you could see their feelings through expressions. Bartholomew, James, son of Alphaeus and Andrew are surprised. Judas is wearing green and blue, looking rather upset as his plan was revealed. He is holding a small bag, perhaps counting the sliver given to him as payment to betray Jesus. His left hand is tipping over the salt shaker. Peter looks angry and John seems swoon. Tomas is upset, James the Greater looks stunned while Philip appears have something to say. Mathew and Jude Thaddeus turn toward Simon. The Last Supper is a great creation of art, which is always bursting with tourists from all over the world.
