In this video, the presenter examines Leonardo da Vinci’s mural The Last Supper as a masterpiece of artistic innovation and psychological composition. He outlines the historical commission by Duke Ludovico Sforza for the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and explains Leonardo’s experimental technique—oil and tempera mixed with beeswax on dry plaster—which, while giving the work unprecedented luminosity, caused severe deterioration and centuries of repainting until the careful 1999 restoration. The analysis then moves to the painting’s narrative content: the moment Christ announces that one of the twelve will betray him. The speaker highlights Leonardo’s break with tradition by placing Judas among the other apostles, his reduced size, the symbolic bag, and his isolated, non‑interacting posture. Detailed observations of each apostle’s gestures—Peter’s knife, John’s sorrow, the pointing hands—illustrate Leonardo’s nuanced psychological portraiture. Finally, the video emphasizes Leonardo’s masterful use of linear perspective, with vanishing points converging on Christ’s face, establishing him as the visual and spiritual center of the composition. Throughout, the presenter celebrates Leonardo’s balance of Renaissance symmetry with dynamic variety, underscoring why The Last Supper remains a timeless, studied work of art.
