What was the title of Andy Warhol’s 1986 series inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper?

Andy Warhol’s 1986 series inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s mural is titled The Last Supper.

Warhol based the series on Leonardo’s famous Christian scene and produced large paintings, drawings, and related works using a reproduced image of the biblical meal. He combined the historic source with his own techniques, including repetition, silkscreen transfer, altered color, and graphic simplification.

The project was commissioned for an exhibition in Milan and became one of the final major bodies of work completed during Warhol’s lifetime. It placed his commercial-image vocabulary in direct conversation with one of Western art history’s most recognizable religious compositions.

The title can cause confusion because Leonardo’s original is also called The Last Supper. Warhol’s works are not copies made by Leonardo; they are modern reinterpretations based on the earlier image. Warhol’s series includes multiple versions that differ in size, color, and treatment.
