The subject of the work
Gestures build the meaning of the scene
Christ has just announced that one of the twelve apostles will betray him. Reactions spread on both sides of him in gestures, looks and conversations abruptly interrupted.
Christ forms the geometric and psychological center. The apostles are divided into four groups of three, while the vanishing lines of the room converge towards the head of Christ.
Composition, light & sfumato
A depth built without hard contour
Leonardo organizes space through gestures, looks, perspective and gradual passages between shadow and light.
The motive
Christ has just announced that one of the twelve apostles will betray him. Reactions spread on both sides of him in gestures, looks and conversations abruptly interrupted.
The construction of the gaze
Christ forms the geometric and psychological center. The apostles are divided into four groups of three, while the vanishing lines of the room converge towards the head of Christ.
The palette and the light
Blues, reds, ochres and skin tones stand out against the light architecture; the real light of the refectory seems to extend that of the painted openings.

Before ordering
Is this a canvas print?
No. Each reproduction is manually painted in oil on canvas. Brushstrokes and variations in material are part of the rendering.
Why does the medium sometimes differ from the original?
Several originals are painted on a panel or directly on a wall. The reproduction transposes their composition onto a canvas intended to be installed in an interior.
Can I check the result before shipping?
Yes. You receive photographs of the completed painting and can request edits before validating the shipment.
Which location is best?
Its horizontal orientation is particularly suitable above a sofa, sideboard or large table.
