Pinin Brambilla Barcilon
Person
Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, Milan
Barcilon led the restoration that ran from 1977 to 1999. Earlier restorations had painted over parts of the mural, and her team worked to uncover what survived of Leonardo’s paint. Look closely at the result and you can see how much of the job was deciding what could be recovered from a painting that had already lost a great deal.
