The Last Supper year?

The Last Supper = the last meal Jesus ate with his disciples was when Jesus was 33. The chronology is disputed, it might have been somewhere between 7 BC and 7 AD. So much for your question. But maybe you do not mean what you write. Maybe you want to know when the painting representing that Last Supper was painted. This is also difficult to answer, because this subject has been painted by hundreds of artists from the 3rd to the 20th centuries. So, maybe you believe that Leonardo da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper' is the only one. That is a mistake. Anyway it was painted 1495-1497.
