The Last Supper is a 1590 oil by Maerten de Vos, a mannerism work, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting depicts a scene of Jesus and his twelve apostles seated around a table, engaged in conversation. The table is set with plates, glasses, and a loaf of bread. Jesus, positioned at the center, is dressed in a red robe and holds a piece of bread in his right hand. The apostles, each wearing distinct attire, display a range of emotions, from surprise to concern. In the background, a dark wall features a decorative design, while the floor is composed of stone tiles. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of solemnity and introspection.
