The apostles are gathered to watch the moment when Jesus announced that someone has betrayed him, just like in the Last Supper depiction by Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, but the characters are still sitting like in the one by Ghirlandaio in the church of Ognissanti in Florence. Judas is on the right of Jesus, while John is on his left, Jesus’ favourite disciple stands almost alone in the centre of the piece. The upper part of the word depicts in an original way a terrace where two people attend a scene below.

Painted for the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, this late version of the Last Supper is perhaps the most unusual and dramatic staging of a scene often depicted by the artist. his is an important late painting by Tintoretto featuring a subject he created often throughout his career. This is, arguably one of the most interesting examples in which he depicted a religious subject, popular among patrons and artists, and rendered it in a way that is uniquely his own. Traditionally the iconic subject of Christ's last meal with his disciples depicts the event in a formal hierarchy, with Christ as the focal point sitting among his followers in the center of the canvas, and they are the sole occupants of the scene. Here, Tintoretto offers an almost shockingly different interpretation. Christ stands far back in the compositional space created by the artist, behind the mass of secondary servant figures who crowd the chaotic scene. Most notably Christ does not represent the vanishing point, an approach most famously employed by Leonardo da Vinci.

This painting is oil on canvas and is housed in the Collection of Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, in Venice, Italy.
