Fotoreproductie van een prent naar het fresco Het Laatste Avondmaal door Leonardo da Vinci in klooster S. Maria delle Grazie 1856 - 1881

This is a photoreproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’, an iconic fresco. The eye is immediately drawn to the horizontal composition, anchored by the long, rectangular table. The photograph’s monochromatic palette emphasizes the structure, highlighting how Leonardo orchestrates a play of reactions among the figures. Christ sits at the centre, a vanishing point for the perspective lines converging from the back wall, and from the gesticulating apostles. Notice how Leonardo uses grouping to convey narrative: clusters of figures reacting to Christ's announcement, their gestures and postures creating a dynamic rhythm. The architecture isn't mere background; it's a structural element framing the scene, enhancing the drama. The subdued tones of the image underscore the fresco’s state of decay, adding another layer of interpretation, a meditation on time and the transient nature of human endeavor. The work's enduring appeal lies in the structural clarity of its composition.
