The Last Supper (1506) Large Framed Print
Framed With Mat •
79x36 inches
"The Last Supper (1506)" painted by Marco D'Oggiono, is a direct adoption of the mural painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. Though it simplifies the skilfully calculated architectural perspective and the subtly distributed lighting, the extraordinary construction of the foreground, and, above the long horizontal table, the distribution of the apostles in four groups, one on either side of Christ is still portrayed. The latter, with his arms opened wide, the right hand open above the table in the same way as the gesture of Madonna of the Rocks, the left hand turned upwards incarnates the pyramid structure characteristic of works by Leonardo since Adoration of the Magi of Florence and here represents the pivotal point of the whole composition. Each group of apostles shows a range of gestures, attitudes, emotions and colours as a result of the announcement that Jesus had just made about the treason committed by one of them. |

Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519) was an Italian man who lived in the time of the Renaissance. He was good at lots of things, but was most famous as a painter. He also was a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician, and a writer. Leonardo was curious about everything in nature. He wanted to know how everything worked. He was very good at studying, designing and making all sorts of interesting things. He was trained to be an artist by the sculptor and painter Verrocchio. Many historians and scholars regard Leonardo as the prime exemplar of the "Universal Genius" or "Renaissance Man", an individual of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination".
