The Last Supper

Leonardo da Vinci, 1495-97


Some works of art freeze a moment for us, and that frozen image becomes that moment in history. Da Vinci's "Last Supper" has become totally accepted as representing Jesus’ last meal with his disciples. Even though it probably bears almost no resemblance to the real event, it has been the model for countless popular recreations.
