Summary

Enero de 1497. Durante semanas, una serie de cartas anónimas enviadas a la corte del papa Alejandro VI advierten que en Milán el controvertido Leonardo da Vinci está ejecutando una obra diabólica: un mural de La Última Cena en el que no sólo ha pintado a los apóstoles sin su preceptivo halo de santidad sino que el propio artista se ha retratado entre ellos, dando la espalda a Jesucristo.
Fray Agustín Leyre, inquisidor dominico experto en la inter­pretación de mensajes cifrados, es enviado a la corte de los Sforza para supervisar esa pintura y tratar de desci­frar la clave que protege la identidad del remitente de las cartas. Lo que está a punto de descubrir conseguirá cambiar nuestra forma de ver la pintura del genio del Renacimiento… para siempre.

Con la maestría de los grandes escritores de novelas de intriga, Javier Sierra recupera uno de los enigmas más fascinantes de la historia del arte.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 

This instant New York Times bestseller reveals the secrets embedded in Leonardo Da Vinci's best-known Christian piece The Last Supper.

Milan, 1497: Leonardo is completing The Last Supper. Pope Alexander VI is determined to execute him after realizing that the painting contains clues to a baffling—and blasphemous—message that he is driven to decode. The Holy Grail and the Eucharistic Bread are missing, there is no meat on the table, and the apostles, shockingly, are portraits of well-known heretics—and none of them are depicted with halos. And why has the artist painted himself into the scene with his back turned toward Jesus? The clues to Leonardo's greatest puzzle are right before your eyes...
Tightly paced and atmospheric, The Secret Supper is a dazzling historical thriller with a unique vision of both Leonardo da Vinci's genius and his masterpiece—which you will never look at in the same way again.
