Detailed explanation-1: -The Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci (Cenacolo Vinciano) is one of the most famous paintings in the world. This artwork was painted between 1494 and 1498 under the government of Ludovico il Moro and represents the last “dinner” between Jesus and his disciples.
Detailed explanation-2: -The painting represents the extremely dramatic and crucial moment right after Jesus tells his apostles that he knows one of them will betray him. The apostles’ facial expressions are full of life, revealing shock, horror and rage. From a technical point of view, the use of perspective here is masterful.
Detailed explanation-3: -From left to right, the Apostles are: Bartholomew, James the Lesser, Andrew, Peter, Judas Iscariot, John, Thomas, James the Greater, Philip, Matthew, Jude, and Simon. Each face of the Apostle has a unique and dramatic expression to Jesus’ news of what’s to come.
Detailed explanation-4: -Leonardo da Vinci Made a Secret Copy of ‘The Last Supper’ and, Miraculously, It Still Exists. A new documentary tracks down the second version of Leonardo’s masterpiece. The Tongerlo Last Supper, by Leonardo da Vinci and his studio.
