What To Know About 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.

Christians commemorate this event, especially on Maundy Thursday. Also known as Holy Communion or The Lords Supper, this has been depicted by artists for thousands of years. The most iconic image and well-known example of such depictions is the Leonardo da Vinci mural painting of the supper in 1490.

Usually people will get copies or replicas of paintings. Most of the original versions of popular pieces are impossible to get. They are extremely expensive or already found in museums and not available for sale. Still, there are plenty of amateur artists who have original works they are willing to sell to those who are interested. Paintings are available in stores and online. Costs will range and may be based on 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 one of the most important stories from the Bible. It involves a Passover meal, and is also a period when Jesus commands that it be remembered what he was to do for the benefit of mankind. He spoke of his plans and said that the blood he shed on the cross was to pay for the sins of man. The feast is also very significant to people of Jewish faith because they recall this as when they were spared from the plague in Egypt.

There are many important lessons that Christians take from the story of the Last Supper. This is one, of numerous, reasons why people might choose to make or purchase artwork that depicts the feast. People of Christian faith have this and other major Biblical events as artwork that they place around their home. It may serve as a reminder of their faith.

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.
