André Derain's "The Last Supper of Jesus" (1911), is a large-scale oil painting that depicts the iconic biblical scene of Jesus' final meal with his disciples. Known for his work as a member of the Fauvist movement, Derain utilizes bold colors and simplified forms to create a dynamic composition. The painting is notable for its expressive use of color and its focus on capturing the emotional intensity of the moment, rather than adhering to traditional representations of the subject. It's a powerful testament to Derain's artistic vision and his mastery of color.
