"The Last Supper" is an engraving by Francesco Denanto, an Italian artist who lived from 1452 to 1592. This artwork depicts the biblical scene of Jesus's final meal with his disciples, where he predicts his betrayal and foreshadows the institution of the Eucharist. Denanto's engraving captures the dramatic moment with detailed figures, expressive gestures, and a sense of solemnity, typical of religious art of the period. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and shadow, further enhances the emotional impact of the scene. "The Last Supper" is a powerful representation of a pivotal moment in Christian history, and its depiction of Jesus's sacrifice and the disciples' reactions continue to resonate with viewers today.
