** ''The Last Supper'' is commonly referred to as a fresco, which it is not. Leonardo Da Vinci experimented with this painting, and instead of painting it on wet plaster as was the convention, he painted ''The Last Supper'' on a dry wall with an experimental mix of tempera and paint, differentiating it from ordinary frescos. Leonardo wasn't in fact a great fan of the fresco technique, as it required painters to act quickly and irreversibly, while he preferred to take his time and work on details.

** A widely-circulated bit of {{Glurge}} [[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-last-supper/ tells the story]] that the same man posed as the model for Jesus and, some 10 or 25 years later after [[FaceHeelTurn living a life of dissolution]], for Judas. Of course, this is completely bogus; for one thing, Leonardo certainly didn't take ten whole years to finish the painting.

This has even lead to wild speculation that Leonardo's John is supposed to be a depiction of Mary of Magdala, although this idea strangely leaves Jesus with an Apostle missing from his supper.
