BASSANO, Jacopo: The Last Supper

🖼 The Last Supper, c. 1546
Oil on canvas
168 × 270 cm

Warm candlelight flickers across intimate faces gathered around a laden table, rendered in rich earth tones and dynamic diagonals. Bassano transforms the sacred moment into domestic intimacy, pioneering a Mannerist approach that influenced Counter-Reformation religious art across Europe.
