The Artwork: Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper

Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper is one of the most famous and widely recognized works of art in history. Painted between 1495 and 1498 for the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, it captures the dramatic moment when Jesus announces to his twelve apostles that one of them will betray him.

The painting is celebrated for its emotional depth, complex composition, and innovative use of perspective. It stands out among other renderings of the scene for its dramatically alive quality, as we witness the apostles in torment grappling with the prophecy. The scene is rich with symbolism, including the bread and wine on the table, which represent the first Eucharist.
