The Last Supper

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Last Supper by Albrecht Dürer: A black-and-white etching of a long table with 13 men seated on one side. The table is rectangular, with a simple wooden frame and a flat surface, and has a few objects on it, including a large plate at the center. The men are dressed in robes and appear to be engaged in conversation. One man at the center of the table gestures with his right hand. The man to his right appears to be leaning back in his seat, while another man to the left reaches for a loaf of bread. The background features a brick wall with a circular window at the top center, and a smaller rectangular window to the right. A plate lies on the floor in the foreground, alongside a basket of bread and a metal ewer. A small plaque on the floor bears the inscription "1523 AD".
