The Last Supper

The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, painted between 1495 and 1498, captures the dramatic moment when Jesus announces that one of his disciples will betray him. The painting focuses on the emotional reactions of the twelve men seated with him, each displaying shock, confusion, or disbelief. Jesus remains calm at the center, forming the painting's focal point. The setting is simple, with a long table and sparse details, allowing the expressions and body language to take center stage. Leonardo’s use of perspective and light directs attention to the tension of the moment, making it one of the most powerful depictions of this biblical event.
