Question illustration
Answer

Answer:

Riemenschneider depicted the Last Supper as a three-dimensional wooden carving, with the figures crowded around the table in varied poses. Leonardo da Vinci painted a two-dimensional scene with Christ centered and the apostles arranged in groups along one side of a long table, reacting to the announcement that one of them would betray him.
