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".

Humanism in the Last Supper?
Leonardo da Vinci had a famous painting called the Last Supper. This is a picture of Jesus at his last supper and there are many people around him, this is a simple picture but it is different from the paintings before, and if you look into it is very complex. There are humanism themes embedded in the painting. In the background of the painting there are windows, and out the windows there is landscape of hills and other thing. This shows real life and the depth of the painting, all the different layers of the painting. Then there is also immense amounts of symmetry in this painting. This was important to humanism because everything was supposed to be balanced. Also man's perfection was a big part in the renaissance, and a body id symmetrical. So some symmetry in The Last Supper was, on either side of Jesus was a group of six people, then in those groups of people each was split into two other groups, all very even and symmetrical. There was also four panels on each side of the walls. Another characteristic of humanism art was real emotions. Every single person in this painting( besides Jesus, who was left out for obvious reasons) is not smiling. They are giving real emotions. Humanism art was all about emotions, and being real. All the people in the painting seem concerned or anxious, all real emotions, they are not just happy all the time. Like what was stated before, artist of the time wanted to show how real people in the paintings were. All the people have shaded in feature which give them the look of real people. It also looks like there was a light coming one side of the room, so it hit the peoples face and made them look all different. Humanists also focused in religion( as well as secular views) because people in ancient Greece studied religion and humanist were trying to make their lives as similar to ancient Greece as possible.
