Leonardo Da Vinci’s LAST


ART CRITIQUE FOR THE LAST
SUPPER
The last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci is the
most representative painting of the Renaissance
involving a religious theme. The painting was on a
fresco like-wall on the Palazzo D'Sforza as a task.
It's a big mural that now is located at Santa Maria
delle Grazie in Millan, Italy. Made by a composition
of different elements that include some literal ones
such as: Jesus and his Apostles, Landscape and a
table with the last meal of Christ. Having a visual
effect to the center of the painting he used a sad
analysis:
In the painting we can see the different textures like the
one of the tablecloth. The artist used the colors in a sad and dark
way with a lot of shadows and sad color like blue, white and gray.
The artist tried to create an ambient where you could feel the
divinity of Jesus and it very holy atmosphere. The shapes are used
in this painting to create the feeling of space like the squares and
rectangles are the parts of the building in the painting they are
used to make that. The lines were used to create space and the
sensation of profundity in the back part of the painting and to
create volume. The texture plays the role to decorate the clothes of
the characters in the painting, also in the walls and the tablecloth,
using the illusion of texture. The light in the work is very few, it's
interpretatio
n: The artist's statement was to create a
representative work on a famous palace. The
meaning of it goes further than a single painting: we
believe that he wanted to create the most
remembered paint of Christ and his last meal. To us it
also means a way for people to see how the last
supper of Christ was. It relates to us in religion and
maybe in culture because of it being a Renaissance
painting. The feeling that we have while looking at it
conclusion:
The painting of the last supper is one of the most
interesting and intriguing of all times. because it represents
one of the most iconic moments in human history and
Christian history this was the night when Jesus announced
before those assembled that one of them would betray him.
In the painting Leonardo da Vinci has surpassed all
others painters with its intense realism, instead of creating
a mere representation of the scene Leonardo captured a
portrait- like quality in each face, demonstrating the
emotion and dismay that the Apostles must have felt upon
hearing that one of their own would betray Jesus.
