The Last Supper has been the subject of many paintings, perhaps the most famous by Leonardo da Vinci. It can be found in the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking...
Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" is not in the Louvre in Paris.
It is a fresco painting, which means it is tempura paint used on a wall (it's 15' x 29'). It is in the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. Besides the fact it's a wall & won't be moved easily,it is quite old and the wall & paint are brittle & flakey now. There is not a copy in the Louvre. There is Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' & Veronesse's 'The Wedding Feast at Cana' which people often mistake/mix up with the 'last supper' because of its size, similar content & composition. Hope that clears it up.
here's the Louvre's site

Copy? Something like what?

The Last Supper is not a canvas painting.
It was painted by daVinci on a wall in Milan.
There are many copies of that painting, including one in the Louvre.
