Lucca: The Last Supper by Tintoretto

The Last Supper by Jacopo Robusti known as "Tintoretto" and Domenico Robusti, dated 1594, is certainly one of Tintoretto’s last masterpieces, created with the help of his son Domenico. A canvas that contains all the characteristic and innovative features of this extraordinary artist: the table at an angle to create depth, the scene updated in a tavern with two servants and centered on Christ who communicates the apostles and emanates a light so strong as to open the clouds between the angels who rush. The dynamism of the various attitudes and poses of the apostles who, dressed in brightly coloured clothes, react to the announcement of Judas’ betrayal. An unexpected woman breastfeeding, symbol of human nourishment, counterbalance to the Eucharistic one.
