Ludovico Maria Sforza (also known as Ludovico il Moro; 27 July 1452 – 27 May 1508) was Duke of Milan from 1489 until 1500. A member of the Sforza family he was the second son of Francesco I Sforza. He was famed as a patron of Leonardo da Vinci and other artists and presided over the final and most productive stage of the Milanese Renaissance. He is probably best known as the man who commissioned The Last Supper.
