General Info On Last Supper Painting

By Eric Jimenez


There are many different types of art, including religious art. People who believe in God and are of a Christian faith, might have a Last Supper painting. The Last Supper is the name for an event that is retold in the Gospel. As the story goes, Jesus was shared a final meal with his Apostles before he had been crucified.

This is a major story from the Bible and it is acknowledged by many Christians, all the time and during Maundy Thursday. Also known as the Holy Communion or The Lords Supper, this event has been depicted in art for centuries. Perhaps one of the best-known examples of this image is that done by Leonardo da Vinci during the 1490s.

People can get copies of famous paintings of this feast. It can be difficult to get original versions of popular depictions because most of these are preserved in museums. Amateur painters may have original versions available to those interested. These paintings can be found online and in-store at a variety of places around the world. Costs will vary based on a number of factors, including the artist and condition of the piece.

Most well-known paintings of this scene are based around the piece by Da Vinci. In this work, Jesus is painted at the center of a table that stretches across the painting. On both sides of him there are six people: men, except for one woman. Still, people should expect variations among these. Most choose artwork that fits their artistic preference or perception.

This is an important story from the Bible. It is a Passover meal and also a time in which Jesus is said to have reminded the Apostles not to loose sight of what he was doing for mankind. That is, shedding his blood and dying on the cross in order to pay for the sins of man. The meal is also significant to Jewish people because it signifies a time in which they were spared of the plague in Egypt.

There are a lot of faith-based lessons and truths that Christians take form this story. This is just one reason why people buy or make art of this kind. Christians might have this and other religious artwork in their spaces. They look nice, as artwork, and also serve as reminders.

Many people like to collect art for different reasons. Christian art is in high demand among religious people and is available through many sources. Often times these pieces of artwork depict important stories from the Bible that relate to the faith and belief system of Christians.
