GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico: Last Supper

🖼 Last Supper, 1480
Fresco
400 × 880 cm
Florence, Italy

Golden light bathes thirteen figures gathered around a laden table, their gestures frozen in shock as Christ announces his betrayal. Ghirlandaio transforms the sacred moment into intimate theater, blending Renaissance perspective with psychological drama that influenced devotional art for centuries.
