The artwork, titled “The Last Supper (Camel-57),” was created by Andy Warhol in 1986. It belongs to the Pop Art movement and is classified under the figurative genre.
In “The Last Supper (Camel-57),” Warhol presents a rendition of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous depiction of the Last Supper. The artwork displays the familiar scene with Jesus and his twelve apostles at a long table. Warhol’s interpretation, however, incorporates modern commercial elements prominently: a large, circular emblem with the number ’57’ and a logo of a camel that references the Camel cigarette brand. This juxtaposition of religious iconography with commercial branding reflects Warhol’s characteristic blend of high art and popular culture. The line art style of the figures, with minimal shading, further distinguishes Warhol’s piece, giving it a modern and graphic aesthetic.
