LAST SUPPER
The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is a depiction of Jesus Christ announcing to his disciples that one of them will betray him. Leonardo da Vinci paints the Last Supper using artistic techniques to convey his own impression or message of this religious event within his painting. The Last Supper is one of the most world renowned masterpieces of Renaissance art. ... It is a bit ironic that Leonardo is known to have little interest in religion and yet one of his most famous works of art, The Last Supper, is a depiction and interpretation of such a religious and historical event.
Leonardo painted the Last Supper on the Dominican convent wall using his experimental technique of oil and tempera on two layers of plaster to create his painting. ...
The Last Supper was painted depicting a scene during the day (as you can see the light is shining through the doorway and windows), but according to the Book of John verse13:21, the Last Supper was a nighttime feast. ... The table for the last supper should have had people all around it. ... Whether we would agree or disagree with this interpretation we must think about how da Vinci interpreted the last supper. ... It would not have been a great surprise to the apostles to have seen the lamb omitted even on Passover night, and since this supper was given one day earlier, they thought nothing of its absence. ... This is why the supper, is with bread that is leavened (fluffy with yeast, not flat) and why they have fish instead of lamb. ... A central theme to the Holy Chalice story and too many interpretations of the Last Supper is that there was one large cup that was passed around for everyone to drink from.
