How does Leonardo distinguish Judas from the rest of the apostles in the Last Supper?

As I recall Judas was facing away from Jesus.
Perhaps this was an indication of shame or fear in Leonardo's interperation.

Leonardo used several ways to distinguish Judas Iscariot from the rest of the apostles in his depiction of the last supper. Some of his ways were not traditionally used by others who had painted the same scene in the past, however, they made the painting more dramatic. First, Judas is holding a bad of silver in his right hand. This would symbolize the money he was paid to betray Jesus. Also, he is reaching for the same bread as Jesus with his left hand. This would signify Jesus' words that "the first to eat of the bread will be the one to betray me."

Why are there only eleven apostles depicted in Durer's painting 'The Last Supper'?
In Luke 22 Judas Betrays Jesus before the last supper. Durer did more than one image of the Last Supper, and at least one of them has 12 apostles in it. I think that I found the one you mean... a horizontal version that seems to be a picture of after Judas Iscariot left the meal. Addition: The reference to Luke 22 is misleading: In Luke 22:21 Jesus says:'Behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table'. And as the question implies, the custom is to portray 12 apostles in paintings of the 'Last Supper'. But it is true that Dürer includes only 11 apostles in the woodcut of 1523.

Is Judas in the last supper picture?
if you read Jonh 13:21 and on, you will see that the loved diciple was at Jesus shoulder, the Peter was closer to him. He gave the wet bread to Judas as a signal that he was the one to turn him in. this means he was further away in the table. Jesus had to get up to give the bread to him. The especific seat is not identified in the gospel. Additional answer: If you mean Leonardo's painting, Judas ought to be the third person to the left from Jesus, sitting calm instead of excited like most of the others.
