Last Supper:Most famous dinner party of all time
Final meal of Jesus
No firsthand reports of the Last Supper
Leonardo da Vinci(1452–1519)
Moment of betrayal
Santa Maria delle Grazie restored
seder
Elaborating historical texts
tablecloth was “so cunningly depicted that the linen itself could not look more realistic”
Restoration:fresh insights into nearly every section of the
composition
Jerusalem, Italy?
I’ll have an orange to go with that grilled eel…..
Leonardo’s last supper?
“Honey, don’t forget the bag of oranges and some eels!”:Leonardo’s grocery receipts
Eels enhance the realism of the representation
orange slices & fish a popular fad
Downplay transubstantiation (the moment when Christ transforms bread and wine into the Eucharist) in order to concentrate on His surprising announcement of
apostolic betrayal
Menu suits Renaissance tastes
