The Last Supper

Raphael Morghen, after Leonardo da Vinci

National Gallery of Art

This print shows thirteen men seated at a long, horizontal dining table covered with a tablecloth. The upper body of each individual is visible, and some of their legs can be seen below the table. The central man has long hair and a composed expression on his face, and he is looking downward with his hands outstretched. The men on either side of the central man are shown in a range of overlapping postures, with some leaning across each other or gesturing with their hands. Most of the men have beards, except for a few who have clean-shaven faces. Their hairstyles vary, from long and wavy to short and curly. The clothing consists of loose, draped garments resembling robes. The table is laid with various dishes and cups, and a few men hold objects like a knife or bread. The background features three large windows that frame a distant landscape view. The walls of the room are decorated with geometric patterns, and the ceiling is high.
