Although engaged in the conduct of so vast an undertaking, and in studies so extensive,
the mind of Leonardo does not appear to have been so wholly occupied or absorbed
in them as to incapacitate him from attending at the same time to other objects 
also; and the Duke therefore being desirous of ornamenting Milan with some specimens
of his skill as a painter, employed him to paint in the refectory of the Dominican
convent of Santa Maria delle Gratie, in that city, a picture, the subject of which
was to be the Last Supper. Of this picture it is related, that Leonardo was so impressed
with the dignity of the subject, and so anxious to answer the high ideas he had 
formed of it in his own mind, that his progress was very slow, and that he spent
much time in meditation and thought, during which the work was apparently at a stand.
