From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Last Supper is a 1470 paint by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a group of figures gathered around a table, sharing a meal. The people have halos and serious expressions. The background is filled with gold patterns and small faces peeking from the edges. One figure in the center is holding a round object, while others reach out toward it. The colors are mostly brown, yellow, and green, applied in flat areas with no shading. The edges of the image have a decorative border that looks like it’s made of metal.

This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
