the news they heard. It was neatly arranged with Jesus at the centre of an extensive table
and apostles from left to write. He wears the traditional red and blue robes and has a beard.

- The Last Supper is the final meal that, in the Gospel accounts, Jesus
shared with his apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. The Last Supper is
commemorated by Christians especially on Maundy Thursday. Scholars have looked to
the Last Supper as the source of early Christian Eucharistic traditions.

3. Subjective 
- The subjective of the painting is Jesus Christ and his disciples. The
arrangement is nearly done with Jesus at the center and his disciples from left to right
signify his great leadership amidst the challenges and difficulties he encountered. The facial
expressions and gestures of the disciples shows different feeling. It may be anger, disbelief,
horror and even betrayal. However, Jesus sit in responsive pose with calmness for he
already know what is going to happen. The bread and wine they shared conveys different
meaning. The bread is said to shows the holy God. And wine shows his forgiveness of sins.
The painting as a whole, shows serenity and power of Jesus. ins in many towns.
