Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper: Reconstruction of the Room Using Reverse Geometric Perspective Processes

A novel geometric approach reveals the three-dimensional spatial principles underlying Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, offering a reverse perspective method to reconstruct the room’s 3D space from its 2D depiction. This study demonstrates how Leonardo’s masterpiece encodes complex architectural and mathematical relationships, providing insights into his creative process. By inverting traditional geometric perspective techniques, researchers reconstructed the room’s structure, bridging art and science with precision. The findings highlight the interplay between artistic intuition and rigorous mathematical principles in Renaissance art.
