The Last Supper is the most spell-binding narrative painting in history
The Duke of Milan asked Leonardo to paint The Last Supper on the wall of a dining hall of a monastery.
Leonardo doesn’t just capture a moment but captures a dramatic narrative. At first, you see Christ's hand, then, as you move up, you stare at his face as he is saying, “One of you shall betray me.” Then as your eyes move across the picture, you see the questions rippling outward as each of the apostles reacts with, "Is it me, Lord?"
