GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico: Last Supper

🖼 Last Supper, c. 1486
Fresco
400 × 800 cm
San Marco
Florence, Italy

Warm light bathes thirteen figures gathered around a table laden with food and vessels, rendered with precise linear perspective and jewel-toned detail. Ghirlandaio's 1486 fresco transforms the sacred moment into an intimate Florentine dining scene, establishing the Last Supper as both spiritual and domestic reality.
