The Last Supper painting, thought to be by Titian Courtesy of St Michael and All Angels, Ledbury Parish Church Who would have thought that you could discover a 16th-century Venetian masterpiece "of Titian" hiding under a pile of scum in a church in Herefordshire? Yet that’s exactly what Ronald Moore, an expert on Italian Renaissance art, says he has done. For more than 100 years, The Last Supper languished in Ledbury Parish Church, to which it had been donated in 1909.

Written by Lianne Kolirin, CNN A painting of the Last Supper which hung for more than a century in a small English church was created in Titian's workshop, art historians have found. The huge painting, which measures more than 12 feet by 5 feet, had garnered little attention on the walls of St Michael and All Angels Church in Ledbury -- a market town with about 10,000 residents in western England.
