The Last Supper

Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper depicts the reactions of Jesus’s twelve disciples to his words, “One of you will betray me,” as they share their final supper together two thousand years ago. Although the subject was painted by other artists, the Korean source describes Jesus’s face in Leonardo’s painting as unfinished. The figures’ gestures and expressions are so vivid that we seem to be watching a scene from a play. Leonardo da Vinci is the artist who made a passage from the Bible feel as immediate as theater.
