This surrealist interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper", painted by Salvador Dalí in 1955, features a distinct, distorted perspective and dreamlike imagery that are signature elements of Dalí's artistic style. The composition is a highly symbolic reimagining of the biblical scene, with the figures of Christ and his disciples presented in a distorted and unsettling manner. The painting's surrealism is heightened by its inclusion of a seemingly levitating Christ with a distorted body, a peculiar landscape behind the window, and the ambiguous and dreamlike expressions of the disciples. "The Sacrament of the Last Supper" is a prime example of Dalí's mastery of surrealism and his ability to infuse familiar religious themes with a captivating sense of the uncanny.
