Leonardo da Vinci -1452 -1519 High Renaissance Renaissance - a cultural movement which began in Italy ….Scholars of the time became interested in how the world works, the art of the time became more realistic concentrating on nature, real settings and perspective. The Last Supper- The final meal that Jesus shares with his Disciples before he is crucified on the cross. Leonardo chooses the moment that Jesus tells them one of them will betray him.

7. From the left- Bart, James and Andrew look on in surprise…Judas, Peter and John are next, Judas carries a money bag and has his arm on the table, Peter yields a knife and points it away from Jesus perhaps to foretell the aggression that is to happen in the garden of Gethsemene, Young John swoons in shock. After Jesus is Thomas (upset), James (stunned with arms in air) and Philip (questioning) Final grouping is Matthew, Jude who turn to Simon in discussion.
14. Carravaggio is known for intense Psychological Realism or Naturalism…always aimed to paint as the eye sees it with all flaws and defects
15. The animated moment when Judas points out who Jesus is in the garden of Gethsemene… shows seven figure- Jesus, St John, Judas and four soldiers…displays added depth…a painter of dramatic chiaroscuro …developing tenebrism
