The Last Supper

Description

The Last Supper is a masterpiece of Renaissance art. It depicts the last moments of Jesus' life. His disciples were seated at a table and he told them that one of them would betray him before sunrise. Each of them responded in varying degrees of shock, horror, and anger. Here are some things you may not know about the painting. But it is an incredibly important piece of art. Here are some of the most interesting things you may not know about The Supper.

The scene is composed of four groups of three figures. The original portrait shows only Jesus, Judas, John, and Peter. Later, other sources identified all of these figures. Interestingly, each group of three has a distinct emotional response to Jesus. In the first group, the disciples are shown with hands raised and facial features distorted. The second group has no beards and the third is shown with an open mouth. The third group shows a mixture of shock and awe.

Leonardo was a master of symmetry. This image has the same number of figures on either side of Jesus. He also avoided the traditional secco fresco technique to create a more dynamic composition. This is a major characteristic of Leonardo's masterpiece, but many critics feel the restoration has erased too much of the original work. In fact, the restoration has made the masterpiece even more valuable. The Last Supper is one of the most famous works of art in the world!
