The Last Supper

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a group gathered around a table. The composition features a number of figures in what appears to be a room with walls adorned with simple decoration, such as crosses. The central figures engage in an activity that involves a central item placed on a table. The individuals are dressed in robes of various colors, such as yellow, purple, and blue. They are arranged around a rectangular table with noticeable expressions and gesturing hands. The overall style suggests a historical or religious theme and has a dynamic, colorful quality typical of folk or historic iconographic art. This is in the style of an anonymous folk or religious artist.
