The Last Supper

 

GITTO DI BONDONE: THE LAST SUPPER



Giotto lived in the thirteen hundreds. This painting is his depiction of the Last Supper; it was made from 1305-1306,  before Leonardo da Vinci’s version.  



 LEONARDO DA VINCI: THE LAST SUPPER

The Last Supper shows the reaction of all of Christ’s disciples when he tells them that one of them will betray him. Leonardo completely changed art in his time period; observe the three dimensional background and compare it to Giotto’s two dimensional version.
