Last Supper

Leonardo da Vinci
"Last Supper" 1495-1498
Oil and tempera on plaster

Poorly preserved and chipping away. The composition is symmetrical. The light source is coming through in the same room that the painting was done and da Vinci made reference to that window in the space and made it look like they were being illuminated from light coming through that window.

Jesus announces that one of his disciples have betrayed him and Judas is there and everyone gets in groups of 3 and discusses amongst themselves. Befuddled.

The way he is pictured with the food and the table makes references to "breaking the body of christ" (bread) called eucharist.
The window in the background is centered with his head and Jesus's head is the vanishing point. The only curb in the architectural space is a little ring in the top right of the window behind jesus. It is supposed to symbolize a halo.

The stark contrast of emotions is contrasted as Jesus appears tranquil everyone else looks horrified. Psycho-dimensional play on di Vinci's part.
