The Last Supper is a 1480 paint by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a group of people sitting around a table. One person in the center holds up a round object, while others reach toward it. The figures wear simple robes in bright colors—red, green, and gold—and all have halos around their heads. The style is flat and bold, with sharp lines and solid blocks of color. Notice the halos and the central figure’s raised hand—this is a common way to show a sacred moment in older art. The colors pop against the dark background, making the scene stand out. If you like this, look up Renaissance next to see how art changed during this time.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
