I have recently taken a closer look at the Last Supper . What I have not noticed earlier was the room and the supper table ,their rectangular shapes falling into amazing symmetry with each other. The supper table of a rectangular shape is entirely visible to the viewer with the diners occupying only one side of the table as though they are appearing in a tableau with each one of them figuring in the picture with their individual expressions -the collective of which is telling the whole story. The colours chosen are subdued but nevertheless add up to tell the story by a clever juxtaposition of the blue with the ochre falling neatly in the brown hues of the room.
