Abstract

The article discusses the painting "The Last Supper" by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. The article discusses questions concerning which event the painting depicts, the institution of the Eucharist or the announcement that a disciple with betray Jesus, the scholarship of Ross King on the subject and the portrayal of Judas as sinister. The article goes on to discuss the identification of one of the apostles at the table as the Apostle John, not Mary Magdalene as suggested by previous scholars.
