The Last Supper

Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen after Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

The image is a circular composition showing thirteen individuals seated around a rectangular banquet table. One individual is prominently positioned in the center with a radiant halo around their head. The individuals are depicted from a three-quarter to full view, with most of their upper bodies visible, wearing flowing robes. Some have curly or wavy hair, while others have beards and hair variations. There is a large serving platter with what appears to be a roasted animal in the center, surrounded by cups, plates, jugs, and utensils. The background includes an arched doorway and drapery above, creating depth in an enclosed space. The scene conveys symmetry and focus on the central figure, implying a gathering of historical or religious significance.
