The Last Supper is a 1494 unspecified by Carlo Crivelli, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
This painting depicts a group of 13 men gathered around a long table, with a white tablecloth and various dishes and jugs on it. The men are dressed in robes and head coverings, and some are holding cups or plates. The scene is set in a simple room with a wooden ceiling. The artist has used a range of colors, including earth tones and greens, to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The figures are arranged in a way that creates a sense of movement and energy, with some leaning forward or gesturing to each other. The painting is a representation of a significant event in Christian tradition. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
