A harmonious painting by the Spanish painter Juan de Juanes.
Strangely enough the faces of most disciples seem to radiate
mostly adoration – and this while they have just heard that their master is
about to be betrayed.
In the foreground a bowl for washing feet before supper.
1542; Oil on canvas; Galleria Borghese, Rome
Jacopo Bassano's Last
Supper is one of the masterpieces of 16th-century Italian
painting.
Instead of the elegant grouping of figures in Leonardo's painting, which inspired it, this dramatic scene features barefoot fishermen at the crucial moment when Christ asks who will betray him, and the light passing through a glass of wine stains the clean tablecloth red
