The Masters II: Raphael

Question 5 • FL-0100310-Introduction to Art History

How is Leonardo da Vinci?s The Last Supper different from traditional depictions?

Answer
A
He paints Judas within the disciples instead of off to the side, creating a realistic and psychological interpretation that places importance on the role Judas, Peter, and John in the story of the Gospels.
B
He represents the Trinity by painting Christ in an equilateral triangle and by grouping the apostles in threes.
C
There are halos on all the apostles except Judas.
D
A and B are correct.

Explanation

Leonardo places Judas among the other disciples rather than separating him from the group, making the scene feel more psychologically realistic. He also uses a triangular composition for Christ and arranges the apostles in groups of three, which are commonly interpreted as references to the Trinity. Since both statements A and B describe features of the painting, “A and B are correct” is the answer.
