Not very well. The usual "wall painting" from this era was a "fresco", from the Italian word for "Fresh", because it was done on fresh plaster that had not dried. But a fresco cannot be altered or adjusted, so it limited the artist's ability to fine tune the painting to his tastes. The Last Supper was done on a stone wall that Leonardo sealed with pitch (tar), gesso (glue mixed with chalk or gypsum) and varnish. This technique was not very successful, and began to deteriorate within a few years of the work being completed.
Several attempts have been made to restore, protect and/or repair the damage, with varying degrees of success; some of these attempts actually made the situation worse. The current situation is that the room has been closed off and climate controlled, and visitors are only allowed in limited numbers and for 15 minutes at a time.
