The perspective in Leonardo's "The Last Supper" mural only makes sense from the opposite end of the Chapel. He elevated the entire "head table" of a banquet to the height of 12 feet, mimicking an extension of the Chapel to painted windows at the far end. From the floor of the Chapel (which was then only the dining hall), the monks in this small monastery could only have looked up to wonder why the walls looked off-balance.

Because he used a new paint that was untested, it began falling apart during his own lifetime, and most of the painting has now been painted-over by "conservators".

In the fresco by da Vinci realism is created by the use of a newly discovered technique of the time, linear perspective. The viewer feels that they are a part of the scene, watching. The figures are also rendered quite realistically, three dimensional and animated. All of the items in the composition can be recognized.

Was the Last Supper eaten in silence?

No, most likely the Last Supper was instituted in singing, praying, reading from the Old Testament, and talking. The Last Supper was an extension of the celebration of the Jewish Passover. During the Passover meal, as it is still eaten today, there was a lot of activity: solemnity, but also joy and festivity. Jesus used the last elements of the Passover to show that the bread and the wine were representations of His body and blood shed at the cross.

Is there a lady included in the last supper painting?

No, only Jesus and his Apostles were at the Last Supper. If by 'Last Supper' you mean the famous fresco by da Vinci, there is not a girl or woman in that painting either. This seems to be a common misconception since the work of fiction by Dan Brown, and movie 'The da Vinci Code'.
