When you have
cherished all the other ecstasies of Milan; sumptuous food, designer shopping,
let your heart be filled with a little more delight. Milan’s most profound
artwork is Leonardo da Vinci's the last supper. The mural adorns the wall of
the Cenacolo Vinciano, the refectorynext to the church of Santa Maria delle
Grazie; it was first expressed in the late 15th century and has
undergone a tough journey of preservation. Gawp at the controversial
masterpiece and decide for yourself whether the apostle sitting next to the
Christ is Mary Magdalene or not.

Barcelona has been
making its presence count in the revival of art, architecture since the 1900s.
And the legendary genius has an overwhelming profile in both the fields.
Architect and Artist Gaudi, in association with his modernista companions, endowed
this city with priceless jewels. Notable works include Casa Batllo and La
Pedera. But it’s the exceptional La Sagrada Família which earned him much
popularity, the grandeur cathedral which kisses the skies.

The small rustic
village of of Giverny in northern France is a spiritual home for Monet fans and
proponents of the Impressionist school. Calude Monet had a house here which was
festooned by flowers. The Clos Normand in the north part of the estate gloats
about the softly-shaded pink house of Monet and his soothing Water Lily studio.
Most importantly, it is close to the Water Garden where artistic imagination
aroused. This is where Monet created his much adored lily pond and the
incredibly famous Japanese bridge.
