The Last Supper 1578 - 1615

Bartolomeo Schedoni's "The Last Supper" (1578-1615) depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his disciples sharing their final meal before his crucifixion. The painting, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, highlighting the figures and the emotional intensity of the moment. Schedoni's detailed rendering of the disciples' expressions captures their individual reactions to Jesus' announcement of his imminent betrayal, creating a powerful visual representation of faith and sacrifice.
