SIGNORELLI, Luca: The Last Supper

🖼 The Last Supper, 1502
Wood
Cortona, Italy

Warm candlelight illuminates Christ and apostles gathered around a table, their faces rendered with psychological intensity and individual expressions of shock and betrayal. Signorelli's interpretation revolutionized the composition by emphasizing human emotion over symbolic arrangement, influencing Renaissance depictions of this pivotal moment.
