The artwork, titled “Last Supper,” was created by Tintoretto around the year 1570. Painted using oil on canvas, this masterpiece is a product of the Mannerism (Late Renaissance) movement. It measures 228 by 535 centimeters and belongs to the genre of religious painting.
In the artwork, Tintoretto presents a dynamic and dramatic interpretation of the Last Supper. Christ, highlighted by a luminous halo, is the focal point at the center of the canvas, surrounded by his disciples in varying poses of surprise, devotion, and reflection. The use of chiaroscuro enhances the emotional intensity, with light illuminating key figures and moments while casting others into shadow. The composition is intricately detailed, with each apostle captured in a moment of interaction, adding a sense of movement and immediacy to the scene. The architectural elements in the background further deepen the perspective, contributing to the overall grandeur and solemnity of this profound biblical event.
