The painting of 'The last supper' by Leonardo Da Vinci is clearly one of the major artworks that represents the Renaissance era. As I researched about the lives in the Renaissance for my presentation, I wanted to connect The last supper and the social hierarchy for this project. Through research, I came up an idea to draw "another" last supper where people from different classes share a delightful meal together with traditional clothes of the era. By doing this, I can connect all entertainment, social status, and clothes in one piece of art. The first step was to research about each status' types of clothes. Although I had learnt about this topic before, by going deeper, I didn't only learn about the characteristics of their clothes but
The Last Supper by leonardo da vinci, This is a significant piece of italian high renaissance artwork (This artwork is known as the first high renaissance aesthetics) and is still known as one of the best works of christian art. This scene by leonardo depicts the last days of jesus christ on earth. In the gospel of John 13:21 it states “Verily I say unto you: one of you will betray me”. Though this artwork may look like a strong biblical depiction on first take. It is a much more complex piece of artwork. To analyze this painting we will first take a look at the apostles themselves. Starting from the left and working to the right. There are four easily recognisable groups of three. The first group Bartholomew, James and Andrew, Their reactions to the news shocked. The group to the right of Andrew is Judas iscariot who is taken back at this, beside him is peter who is clenching a knife and looks blustery. The youngest of the apostles John is overcome by the news and faint. The third group is Thomas is simply upset, Followed by james who is very shocked almost as if he has been slapped. Philips is looking around and wanting an explanations as to why. For the final group Jude along with Mathew look towards simon asking for some type answers. This paintings is even unique just for the placement of one apostles in particular this being judas. In many past portrayals of this scene Judas is the only one not wearing a halo or instead is put alone of to the side by himself or is
One of the most iconic artwork from the renaissance time period is the “Last Supper”. The massive, realistic piece of artwork is one that you can imagine yourself right in the scene. Only very little of the original piece of the artwork still exists, however, many individuals have spent many years attempting to restore most of the artwork. I fell that many individuals value this particular artwork for its biblical reference the Last Supper of Christ sharing his meal before his crucifixion. Similarly to the “Last Supper” the “Mona Lisa” is still highly valued in our society today.
Art is a particular form of social consciousness and of human activities, an important way for people to perceive, discover and improve life: according to the laws of beauty. It is the creation of tangible or intangible products containing great values of thought-aesthetics, cultural character, and emotions. In this sense, there are numerous types of art. Painting is one of the oldest forms of art on earth. From prehistoric times, artists not only used it to communicate, but they also used painting to entertain the viewers. Painting can be transformed, eliminating the tedium, fatigue, and stress in daily tasks to bring the joy. Fun in life or silence for the soul. In other words, painting is a language that communicates an artist 's ideas
Throughout the epic poem Inferno, Dante the Pilgrim travels in the different circles of Hell told by Dante the Poet. The story examines what a righteous life is by showing us examples of sinful lives. Dante is accompanied by his guide Virgil, who takes him on a journey to examine sin and the effects it has in has in the afterlife to different sinners. Through the stories of Francesca and Paolo, Brunetto Latini, Ulysses and Guido da Montefeltro, we are able to understand that people are self-interested in the way they act and present themselves to others and that those in Hell are there because they have sinned and failed to repent their sins and moral failings.
The book compares and contrast different artists’ the last supper. The story of the last supper is from the Bible, so different people have different opinions.

The last supper is one of the artwork compare with the Virgin of the Rocks, so it helpful to have a better understanding of the last supper.
Because of his genius, the work of art was chosen as the symbol of the Republic of Florence. It was carved in a huge block of marble that remained abandoned for more than forty years after suffering damage just in its basis in a previous attempt (Michelangelo took advantage of that just creating an empty espace between Davi's feet). Several artists had fought for the honor of doing that, including Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea Sansovino. Michelangelo was responsible for the task due to its already established reputation for brilliant sculptor because of his Bacchus and the Pieta. Michelangelo got one of the most beautiful representations of the human body in the history of art. The sculpture represents a colossal teenager, 16.9 feet in height.

The figure of Andrew in Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper expresses the philosophy of Humanism through the human emotion of denial, which is seen in the his eyes and hands. He is standing fourth to the right from Jesus, next to James Minor and Peter. His hands are raised up as if to say he is innocent of any wrongdoing and his eyes seemed to be cast in the direction of Jesus himself or maybe another apostle, perhaps Judas, Peter, or John. He is clearly afraid of being accused of some horrendous act by all of the other apostles or Jesus himself.
In 2006, I was watching The Da Vinci Code with my friend, Lucy. At such young age I could hardly understand the complicated situation. The only thing I could remember was the vivid images and all those amazing art pieces. However, this was also my first time to look at this remarkable art work: Last Supper.

The Purpose of the paintings of the “Last Supper,” by Ugolino di Nerio and Leonardo da Vinci, were to portray the betrayal of Jesus Christ by of one the twelve apostles, as they are having the last meal. Jesus Christ mentions to his apostles that there is going to be a betrayal amongst them. All twelve apostles had mixed feelings of anger, fear, and surprised. Later on, it turns out that Judas, one of the twelve apostles, had told the authorities about Jesus so he can be arrested then later crucified. The paintings show a dramatic scene after the claim by Jesus Christ. The paintings give us insight to get the reader interested in the painting of “The Last Supper,” how the cultures that produced those paintings change the way we paint today, and how both paintings influenced the Renaissance era.
As we all know the Last Supper is the last dinner that Jesus shared with his Apostles before he was betrayed and crucified. Although this theme occurs in many works, The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is the most famous and has been a subject of many discussions.
Although Leonardo chose to paint the moment when Jesus tell his apostles that one of them has betrayed him, Jesus’ expression is not the one of an angry man, but one of compassion. Jesus seems to be calm and ready to face whatever comes next, his facial expression reflects forgiveness while each one of the 12 apostles show multiple expressions of denial and concern. It is to be taken into account that Leonardo managed to give the apostles genuinely human emotions without making it excessive but still gave Christ a unique facial expression.
Leonardo da Vinci was one of the artists of the High Renaissance period that had the
