Last Supper

Deutsche Grafik 1483–1490, circa 1490

This is a painting of a group of people gathered around a table for a meal. The scene shows individuals sitting around an oval table, which is decorated with simple food items and cups. The color palette is modest, with yellows, blues, and earthy tones. Each figure wears a robe and many are depicted with a circular halo above their heads. The figures have elongated features and closed eyes. The background features a curved architectural element, possibly an arch or a window, framing the gathering. The style resembles a medieval or early Renaissance woodcut illustration, reminiscent of religious art from that period.
