VERONESE, Paolo: Last Supper

🖼 Last Supper, c. 1585
Oil on canvas

Lavish architectural splendor frames Christ and apostles amid a feast of rich color and dramatic perspective. Veronese's monumental composition transforms sacred narrative into theatrical spectacle, challenging Counter-Reformation severity with sensory abundance and palatial grandeur.
