BASSANO, Jacopo (b. ca. 1515, Bassano, d. 1592, Bassano) The Last Supper 1542 Oil on canvas Galleria Borghese, Rome Jacopo Bassano's Last Supper is one of the masterpieces of 16th-century Italian painting. Instead of the elegant grouping of figures in Leonardo's painting, which inspired it, this dramatic scene features barefoot fishermen at the crucial moment when Christ asks who will betray him, and the light passing through a glass of wine stains the clean tablecloth red. Recent restoration has only now revealed the extraordinary original colours, which had been heavily painted over

Recent restoration has only now revealed the extraordinary original colours, which had been heavily painted over in the 19th century, when the emerald green and iridescent pinks and oranges were not in fashion. --- Keywords: -------------- Author: BASSANO, Jacopo Title: The Last Supper Time-line: 1551-1600 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious
