"Last Supper" is a fresco by Giotto, completed in 1325 and currently located in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich, Germany. The painting depicts the moment of Jesus's institution of the Eucharist, where he breaks bread and offers wine to his disciples, foretelling his imminent betrayal and death. Giotto's depiction deviates from earlier Byzantine representations, introducing more naturalistic figures and three-dimensional space, a key factor in the artistic evolution of the period. His attention to detail and emotive portrayal of the disciples makes this a significant work of early Renaissance art.
