Five artists in Toronto have recreated Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper using 4050 Rubik’s cubes. The five members of the Cube Works art group, based in Toronto, spent two months making the mosaic, which measures 260cm by 520cm. The Rubik’s cube replica of the 15th century mural, which is painted on the back wall of the dining hall at Santa Maria delle Grazie, a church in Milan, is thought to be the largest work of its kind. Guinness Book of Records judges are understood to be investigating whether it breaks any records. It has also been reported that the new artwork has been sold to a prominent art collector in Florida.
