A musical staff was reportedly discovered hidden within Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" by superimposing a mirrored image of the painting. The artwork, located in a church in Milan rather than the Louvre, faces ongoing deterioration because it was painted as a fresco not designed for permanent durability. Public access to the original masterpiece remains restricted to protect the fragile remains from further environmental damage.
