Description of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper
The Last Supper is a fresco by Leonardo De Vinci that depicts a scene of Christ’s last supper surrounded by his disciples. The artist created it in 1495-1498 at the monastery of Santa Maria in Milan. This work is quite traditional for that era. It is located in the refectory of the monastery.
The painter began his work in 1495, and it was finished after three years, with several breaks in the process. Today we know about three copies of the fresco, which, according to art historians, were created by the artist’s assistant. The mural has already managed to deserve the honorable status of a true Renaissance landmark, thanks to the correctly reproduced depth of perspective, which was able to change the vector of direction associated with the development of painting in the West.
According to art historians, the fresco clearly reveals the moment when Jesus says the words concerning the fact that one of the apostles would turn out to be his traitor, as well as the reaction to the words of Jesus of each of his disciples.
Virtually all of the artist’s previous works on this subject gave Judas the exception of being seated at the table apart from the other disciples, where he was seated opposite them, or in previous works Jesus was depicted with all of his disciples except for Judas.
Judas can clearly be seen clutching a small sack in his hand, most probably referring to the silver in it that Judas received for betraying his mentor, or depicted in his hands as an allusion to his key role among all twelve disciples as the most important treasurer. He is the only one of the twelve apostles who is depicted with his elbow placed on the table. The knife in Peter’s hand most likely directs the viewer to the scene in the Garden of Gethsemane at the apprehension of Christ.

Гениально!
Великолепная работа!!! Но реализм должен быть во всем. В таких шикарных палатах не происходило это Великое событие.
Это то что надо знать!
"Реализм должен быть во всем" – долго смеялась с этой фразы XD это же надо было ляпнуть такое про работу Леонардо) И по поводу грунта – тут скорее его подвела любовь к науке и экспериментам)
И это не фреска, уважаемые! Это масляная живопись по грунту, потому и осыпается.
Дмитрий, а по-моему, перспектива сильно нарушена. Комната слишком узко сходится.
Since the beginning of time, humanity has admired the talent of Leonardo da Vinci and enjoyed the beauty, mystery, and grandeur of his creations. They are all unique and still not fully understood. For over five hundred years, in a modest building that once served as the refectory of the Milanese monastery Santa Maria delle Grazie, a magnificent fresco by the talented master, The Last Supper, has lived on the wall, captivating art lovers. The masterpiece in the refectory of the monastery is considered the most mature and complete work of this unique artist. The title of the fresco speaks for itself; it fully reveals the event depicted within it.
Experts believe that the painting contains many encrypted riddles that Leonardo intended to convey to future generations. The master deliberately depicted the table and dishes on it as they were at that time in the refectory church. Why did he do this? It is believed that Leonardo da Vinci wanted to show the world a simple truth: that Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot, that is, good and evil, are much closer to people living on earth than it seems. Moreover, while working on The Last Supper, the artist managed to solve the main task by brilliantly arranging the Savior and his twelve apostles around a small table. The Lord sits in the center of the table, with six of his disciples on each side, arranged in raised poses. This approach, style, and concept create strength and even psychological tension, as the fresco shows the reaction of the apostles to the words of Jesus Christ: One of you will betray me.
The artist set himself the task of showing the real feelings of the disciples and conveying their complex reactions to the words of the Savior, and he succeeded because Leonardo avoided anything that could distort the main action depicted in the painting. The feelings of the apostles are perfectly shown, as well as their unwillingness to be the one about whom Christ spoke when mentioning betrayal. The great master interprets each disciple differently; absolutely all figures are unique in their own way, both in gestures and in gazes. At the same time, all the movements of the apostles are different; there are no repetitions, and each figure has its own feelings and a unique image, which preserves the overall harmony of the painting The Last Supper. The composition is balanced by a wide background that depicts a magnificent setting with carpets and open windows.
The artist worked on his masterpiece for several years. Sometimes he would come to his creation, make a few brushstrokes, think deeply, examine the figures depicted in the fresco, and then leave. There were moments when Leonardo worked from dawn till dusk, but sometimes he didnt touch a paintbrush for days. It is worth noting that the artist painted the fresco on a dry wall; he chose the wrong base, which led to the rapid deterioration of the masterpiece. Its strange because Leonardo always knew how to choose materials for his masterpieces, or perhaps he really encrypted a message for posterity within it. Perhaps, as Italian researcher Sabrina Sforza Galitzia claimed, she was able to read the date of the end of the world on the fresco, but she could not prove it.
The size of the fresco The Last Supper is 8.70m x 4.50m. Many experts believe that it is best viewed from a distance of nine meters and at a height of three and a half meters, as this reveals all its colors, harmony, and beauty.
Leonardo da Vinci is a great and famous artist of the Renaissance period. The unique and renowned work of this painter intricately combines art and science. One very popular and well-known work by this artist is the fresco The Last Supper, which is located in the refectory of an Italian provincial church. The main purpose of the work is to depict a biblical scene: the Last Supper of Christ and his disciples, specifically capturing the moment when Christ says to his followers: One of you will betray me.
All the people in the fresco are arranged in groups of three, and each group expresses a variety of emotions, which can be seen through the gestures of the characters. They seem to be anxiously asking questions and listening to what Christ will say to them. In this work, Leonardo da Vinci reveals himself not only as a talented painter but also as a professional psychoanalyst and expert on human feelings. Through the various poses and facial expressions of Christs disciples, we can understand what each person is feeling at that moment: anger, fear, confusion, and other emotions. Among them sits the betrayer, and it is not by chance that the artist depicted a shadow on Judas face, in contrast to the other faces of the disciples, which are illuminated.
Thus, Leonardo shows the essence of Judas; the betrayal is clearly expressed, and the fear of exposure can be felt in all his body movements: the turn of his head, his posture, his hands. He holds a bag of coins and presses it against himself, the money he received for betraying his teacher.
We can assume that this famous painter wanted to reveal important questions about humanity through the reactions of the characters in his works: loyalty and betrayal, love and hate, decency and villainy. However, what exactly Leonardo da Vinci wanted to tell us with this painting remains a matter of speculation, as we admire this masterpiece.
шедевр
В “Тайной вечере” Леонардо да Винчи зашифрована мелодия. Ее обнаружил компьютерный техник Джованни Мария Пала: если нарисовать вдоль картины нотный стан, то ломти хлеба на столе и руки апостолов можно прочесть как ноты. Даже скептики признали, что гармония этой мелодии безупречна и случайно появиться на картине она не могла.
In the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Leonardo da Vinci created one of his greatest works, The Last Supper, in 1498.
The painting is located in the refectory on a wall, but it is not a fresco, as some mistakenly believe. The artist painted the work using pigments mixed with egg yolk directly onto the wall, which had been primed, unlike a fresco, which is painted on wet plaster. This technique led to the paintings lack of durability; just 20 years after its completion, it was already noticeably deteriorated. However, it was precisely this technique that gave the work so much life and color, earning it immediate recognition.
In addition, the painting underwent restoration and reconstruction efforts periodically carried out in the monastery. First, a doorway was cut into the wall where the painting was located; later, it was blocked up and plastered over. While this might not seem significant, these works resulted in some of the painting being lost. Specifically, Jesuss feet were covered with plaster and thus disappeared from the overall composition.
Furthermore, damage to the painting was caused by a curtain that was hung to protect the work but ultimately accelerated its deterioration. The dense fabric trapped moisture behind it, and when opened, the material gradually scraped off the flaking paint.
In 1796, Napoleon himself was captivated by the beauty of the painting and considered taking it from Italy to France. However, since the painting was on a wall, this was impossible. Later, as Emperor, Napoleon commissioned Giacomo Raffaelli to create a copy of the beloved painting. Raffaelli was one of the masters who possessed the technique of micromosaic, which involved assembling a painting using very small pieces of colored glass, creating works that seemed alive.
The work took eight years, during which time Napoleon divorced Josephine de Beauharnais, married the daughter of the Emperor of Austria, and found himself in exile on the island of Saint Helena. The copy was purchased by the Emperor of Austria, Franz II, and after unsuccessful attempts to place it in the Belvedere Palace in Vienna due to its large size (4600x8800mm), it was given to the church of the Minorite community, founded by the famous Italian saint Francis of Assisi. It remains there today, while the original can still be seen in the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
Both works are remarkable, full of life and energy. Leonardo recreated the Last Supper, during which Jesus announced the impending betrayal of one of his disciples. Behind them are three windows, and the disciples are arranged in groups of three, symbolizing the Holy Trinity. Jesuss feet, which were covered with plaster in the monastery and recreated in Raffaellis work, are positioned on a cross as a sign of Jesuss impending death.
Очень смешные комментарии. Забавно, когда Маня Коровкина начинает судить и безграмотно рядить о фреске.
Заказ на написание произведения живописец получил от своего патрона – миланского герцога Людовико Сфорца в 1495 году. Правитель славился распутной жизнью и с юных лет был окружен юными вакханками. Ситуацию нисколько не меняло наличие у герцога прекрасной и скромной жены Беатриче д’Эсте, которая искренне любила супруга и в силу своего кроткого нрава не могла перечить его образу жизни. Надо признать, что Людовико Сфорца искренне почитал свою жену и был по-своему к ней привязан. Но истинную силу любви распутный герцог ощутил только в момент скоропостижной кончины своей супруги. Скорбь мужчины была столь велика, что он на 15 дней не покидал своей комнаты. А когда вышел, то первым делом заказал Леонардо да Винчи фреску, о которой некогда просила его покойная супруга, и навсегда прекратил все развлечения при дворе.
Произведение было выполнено в 1498 году. Его размеры составили 880 на 460 см. Многие ценители творчества художника сошлись во мнении, что лучше всего “Тайную вечерю” можно рассмотреть, если отойти на 9 метров в сторону и приподняться 3,5 метров вверх. Тем более что посмотреть есть на что. Уже при жизни автора фреска считалась его лучшим произведением. Хотя, назвать картину фреской было бы неправильным. Дело в том, что Леонардо да Винчи писал произведение не на мокрой штукатурке, а на сухой, чтобы иметь возможность редактировать ее несколько раз. Для этого художник нанес на стену толстый слой яичной темпры, которая впоследствии сослужила дурную службу, начав разрушаться всего через 20 лет после написания картины. Но об этом чуть позже.
ито верно
Владислава, согласна с тобой
Не требую увекповечитгь мою мысль!
Увы, я невежа, не узнаю некоторых апостолов.
Хоро-о бы к картинам на известные сюжеты иметь короткое описание.

Не знаю как записать один: 1 или 236 – 235
Никто из комментаторов не написал, что рядом с Иисусом сидит женщина, красивая, молодая, с непокрытой головой, в отличие от православных и мусульманок, и она входит в число учеников Иисуса и стало быть апостолов!
Прочитайте книгу: *Откровение Леонардо*, автор
Лебедев В. Она есть на Googl, Amazon, Litres, Ozon...
Возможно, что-нибудь и сдвинется в Ваших пониманиях – (которые, запрограммированны *серыми кардиналами* – и вбиты в Ваши Мозги)- истинных тайн фрески Леонардо?!
Удачи.
Полностью согласен с Вами, Виктор! Молодёжь только смотрит телевизоры, играет в телефоны... Они даже общаются ВИРТУАЛЬНО!!!
А книга хорошая, спасибо!

Мне 14 и я прочитала книгу код Да Винчи, так вот эта женщина является Марией Магдалиной!
Там же в книге описано что это Священный Грааль!
Venice demands attention and consideration. The city has churches dedicated to saints with intriguing stories: San Trovaso, San Zanipolo, and San Canciano. Saint Trovaso represents the martyrs Gervasius and Protasius. Saint Zanipolo also features two saints, John and Paul, while Saint Canciano includes three figures: two male martyrs and one female martyr. The peculiar names of Venetian churches are linked to a curious episode in the history of painting. Paolo Veronese painted a Last Supper for the refectory of the Dominican monastery of San Zanipolo that was so controversial that, after just one look at the canvas, the monks refused to accept the work. There is no need to be surprised by the decision of the respected monk – the masters painting, if anything, resembled a feast among Venetian patricians. In 1573, Veronese had to defend his aesthetic views before the Inquisition court, which, unsurprisingly, condemned the painter for depicting buffoons, drunkards, Germans, dwarves, and other inappropriate things and ordered him to create a less radical version of the Last Supper. What is surprising in this story is that the author did not start painting the picture again.
He simply changed the title, and the Last Supper became The Feast at Levis House. Tintoretto followed his own artistic path. In the Last Supper, painted in 1560 for the church of San Trovaso, he depicted Christ surrounded by tipsy dockworkers and women, all painted from life. In this interpretation of Christs last supper, no one found anything objectionable. For centuries, Venice was known as a city that welcomed thinkers who dared to freely interpret religious principles. This is still largely a myth. A prime example is Giordano Bruno. The philosopher, obsessed with the idea of multiple worlds, which his contemporaries perceived as preaching polytheism, found refuge for a time among the Venetian patricians Mocenigo. Time passed, and the scholar lived in their home, but he did not intend to reveal the secrets of the secret science that could bring power and success. Moreover, rumors began circulating that it was time for him to move to Frankfurt, and the sensible host handed the guest over to the Inquisition, which soon burned Bruno at the stake on Campo de Fiori in Rome.
Если нужны подробности об Иисусе и его времени, то их можно в изобилии найти в книге "Партия Иисуса" (я нашел ее на Озоне и на Амазоне). Кем был Иисус, чего добивался, какие у Него были отношения с окружающими, что известно о Его мессианском статусе – все это можно найти в этой книге.

Добрый день, друзья, не являюсь специалистом в живописи, также не являюсь исследвателем работ Леонардо, однако интересует вопрос касаемый Тайной вечере: почему у Иисуса на левой ноге 4 пальца, а на правой-6? Заранее благодарю.
А где вы их считаете? Их же не видно
На просторах интерната уведел несколько фото, вкурсе что на месте ног Иисуса была сделана дверь, однако как раз это и любопытно, откуда взялись ноги с разным колличеством пальцев, возможно поздние дорисовки, либо фотошоп. Как раз это и интересно, пишите кто что знает
Насколько же все притянуто за уши, (я про религии, всяких там римских пап, и их системы управления массами)... Ага, 12 апостолов... Точно? А справа от Иисуса тоже апостол в женском обличьи? Точно одно, там изображено, явно не то, о чем сказали попы несколько веков назад...
"Тайная вечеринка" – потрясающий шедевр мирового наследия!!!
Я передумала.
You cannot comment Why?
This is Leonardo da Vincis iconic mural, The Last Supper. It depicts Jesus Christ at the center of the table, with his twelve apostles surrounding him. The scene captures the dramatic moment after Jesus announces that one of his disciples will betray him, and it vividly portrays the varied reactions of each apostle – shock, disbelief, anger, and sorrow.
