The story

This famous painting hides an incredible musical secret. In The Last Supper, the bread pieces seem scattered, but they follow a pattern. When you overlay a musical staff, the bread aligns perfectly with notes. Add the hand positions and you get a complete musical composition. Play it backwards (Leonardo's style) and it sounds like a requiem.

Leonardo hid a 40-second hymn in the bread and hands.
