ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO: Last Supper (architectural detail)

🖼 Last Supper (architectural detail), 1447
Fresco
Florence, Italy

Geometric precision frames Christ and apostles in a vaulted Renaissance interior, rendered through bold linear perspective. Del Castagno pioneered architectural illusionism in Italian fresco, transforming the refectory wall into a spatial extension that redefined narrative religious art.
