The Last Supper

1. Composition: Take the position of the dining table as an example. Leonardo da vinci put the table in front of the picture. The table is not only a table, but also forms a dividing line, just like the edge of the stage. The audience is on one side, and there is a play on the other side of the table.

2. Use of space: Draw perspective lines through ceilings, tapestries and floors. All the lines converge on Christ's head, which is the center of the picture. The lines are bright and clear, forming a symmetry and coordination.

3. Characterization: Characters are lined up, and everyone's reaction is unique, vivid and vivid. After listening to Jesus' words, the disciples reacted differently, thus showing their respective personalities and psychology.

The Last Supper is a mural made by Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci in 1495- 1497 for a monastery restaurant. This painting shows the different psychological reactions of Jesus' disciples when they hear the Lord say, "One of you is going to betray me".

Look at the trio on Christ's left first: Philip jumped up irresistibly and turned to Christ with unpredictable questions, trying to figure out what was going on. He put his hand over his chest to express his sincerity and purity. Old Jacob spread out his hands in anger, and then leaned back because he lost his center of gravity, as if to say, this is incredible. Thomas stood behind them. He tried to control his temper, raised his index finger to Christ and said, how is that possible? One of the three people on Christ's right is Judas. He twisted guiltily and wanted to stay away from his master in horror. He also grabbed the wallet he got from the informant in a hurry and squinted at Christ in fear. John hung his head sadly and folded his hands. He is very anxious and doesn't know what to do. He is listening to Peter. Peter stood up angrily, leaned over to John, put his left hand on his shoulder and put it to his ear, as if to ask, Do you know who it is? His right hand was still clutching a knife, as if to show that if I knew who it was, I would kill him. Among the three people in the rightmost group, bartholomew and Peter are very close. He opened his hands and looked shocked and calm, as if telling everyone not to panic. He stared at Christ seriously and calmly, trying to save his master. It was James Jr. who embraced Bartolo. He looked at the helplessness of Christ nervously. Standing at the top is a strong Andrew, who leans forward and rushes forward quite a bit. In the leftmost group, Matthew stretched out his hands to Christ, but his face turned to the Tathagata on the left, as if asking an experienced old man a question. Who was the master talking about just now? Mrs. Tattoo spread out her hands and said she wanted to know. Simon is also thinking hard, but to no avail.

The composition of this painting is not complicated, basically it is a straight line interspersed with changes, but it is rich in simplicity. The painter organically combines thirteen characters, which are both different and related. It not only highlights the main image of Christ, but also clearly describes everyone's appearance and personality characteristics. The painter arranged Jesus in the two centers of the picture and the visual center, and set off the image of Jesus more clearly with the light of the gate as the background. Dining tables, walls, doors, windows and ceilings all focus on the image of Christ, which naturally attracts the audience's attention to Christ first. And consciously separate the disciples on both sides from Jesus. At first glance, Jesus seems to be isolated. In fact, the inner emotions and feelings and the whole incident have closely linked them. The twelve disciples were evenly distributed on both sides in groups of three, and contacted and echoed Christ with their own actions and expressions. The whole environment and props have been treated simply, in order to highlight the excited characters more, and then lead the center of the whole picture to Christ through the actions and expressions of these characters.

Judas, which we see in the painting, is gloomy, ugly and particularly rude, which is in sharp contrast with John and Peter next to him and makes people look very boring. The whole picture is mysterious and profound, as if to suck people in.
