The Last Supper

  • This painting by Leonardo da Vinci represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus with the Twelve Apostles, as it is told in the Gospel of John – specifically, the moment after Jesus announces that one of his apostles will betray him. This high renaissance artwork is one of the Western world’s most recognizable paintings and among Leonardo’s most celebrated works.

    The work was commissioned as part of a plan of renovations to the church and its convent buildings by Leonardo’s patron Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan.
