Description
The Last Supper is a mural painting created by Leonardo da Vinci between 1495 and 1498. It was commissioned by Ludovico Sforza when renovating a church in his possession. This painting is one of the most popular in the Western world due to its use of space and perspective, the handling of motion and the portrayal of human emotion. It is now located in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan.
The painting depicts the reaction that each apostle had when Jesus informed them about one of the betraying him. Everyone had different reactions, from anger to shock. In this scenario, Judas Iscariot is shaken that his plans have been revealed. He is also holding a bag which probably contained the payment he received in exchange for this betrayal and he’s also pouring salt which relates to the Eastern expression “to betray the salt” which means to betray the master
