Cenacolo of the Badia at Passignano
Domenico Ghirlandaio's Last Supper
Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449 - 1494), Last Supper (part.)
Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, Badia di Passignano.
"In the centre of the painting stand the two main actors of the great drama:
Judas, aware of his betrayal, with his stance, his look, his hair in disorder,
expresses his gloomy solitude; Christ, with an expression of religious solemnity,
looks towards the table with his right hand raised as a sign of blessing and
seems almost comforted by the presence of John who, in that moment, stands with
his head resting against the Lord's chest". (P.N. Vasaturo, 1989).
