Best Answer

Painted by Leonardo DaVinci on the wall of the refrectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan. One interesting fact is that there are lines of perspective that radiate from Christâ??s head, indicating that he is the focal point of the painting and gives symbolism as Jesus being the Light of the World. The apostles are grouped in 3â??s, with Judas(the Betrayer) being the 5th figure from the left. Judasâ??s position is of significance as the lowest in height of all figures. He is clutching a bag, considered to be the money bag which signifies his later betrayal and his role as the treasurer of the group. He is also tipping over the salt container, which has been speculated as being symbolic of a common expression of the Eastern nations of â??betray the saltâ??. Judasâ?? face is the only one in shadow, indicating that his distance from the light of Christ. Peter is holding a knife. pointed away from Jesus, and with an angry expression, a foreshadow of his behavior in the Garden of Gethsemane. Leonardo reportedly used faces of actual people for everyone except the Christ. He found faces among the people of Milan, as models. He was also reported to have spent considerable time looking for Judasâ?? face among criminals jailed in Milan prisons. Jesus originally had feet, but the painting as we now can view does not, after a new doorway was added to the refectory in 1650.
