Question

A long, horizontal table. Jesus is in the center of the table. On either side of him are six men, either facing him or with bodies angled toward him.
Name the painting above and its artist. What type of perspective was created by the artist in this painting? Determine the vanishing point(s) and the elements in the painting that lead to it/them.

Answer 1

Answer:

The name of this painting is The Last Supper, and it was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. The perspective of the painting is set in a way that causes the eyes to automatically go to Jesus (or technically the point directly above Jesus' head. This is caused by the angle of the walls in the room, the bodies of the disciples facing Jesus in some way (hands in His direction, heads facing Him, shoulders squared toward Him etc.), and the arc that reachesit's peak directly above Jesus' head.

Hope this helps! :)
