Hans Holbein the Elder's "The Last Supper" (1501) is a detailed depiction of the biblical scene, where Jesus shares a final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. The painting, now housed in the Städel Museum, depicts the scene in a realistic setting, showcasing the figures in a long, narrow room, with a richly detailed table and a dramatic composition. The realistic portrayal and the minute details reflect Holbein's skillful craftsmanship and the Northern Renaissance artistic style.
