Jaume Huguet was a Spanish painter. He painted many
religious
pictures such as the one shown here. In this painting, does it seem
that Jesus is looking at you? You will notice that the artist makes his
clothing darker than the clothing of the disciples around him. This
calls your attention to him as the centerpiece of the painting.

The man dipping his hand in the dish is Judas
Iscariot. All the others
are drawn with a halo around their heads, Judas is not shown with one
because he is about to betray Jesus.

The picture was painted on wood, probably around 1470.
|
Huguet lived in Barcelona, Spain. The painting of The
Last Supper
hangs in a museum in Barcelona.

The story of the Last Supper can be found in the
Bible in
Matthew 26:17-30 ; Mark 14:12-26
