The table at the last supper was low and everyone sat on the floor. Unlike in the painting, the disciples sat around the table, not all on one side like a master of ceremonies and the panel.
In many ways, the artists that attempted to paint the Last Supper pretty much had to guess what the Apostles looked like; not like there were pictures anywhere. If you had meant "The" Last Supper, try comparing the details of the figures with others in other Last Suppers.
Oh, dude, the M in the 'Last Supper' is like right there in the middle, sandwiched between the L and the A. It's like the cool kid at the table, just chilling with all the other letters, you know? So, yeah, it's right smack dab in the middle, holding its own in that iconic phrase.
The atmosphere was rather quiet and uncertain.
It isn't. Some people think that the last supper was a Passover seder, however, the timing was wrong for that to have happened.
AnswerJesus said he did not come to abolish the law and the prophets but to fulfill them. This is exactly what the Last Supper is about. Instead of the meal celebrating the passover lamb being sacrificed and consumed the Last Supper celebrated the sacrifice and consumption of he Lamb of God. The New Covenant also came into force at the Last Supper and there are no more intermediaries like Moses and the prophets and God again deals personally with each one of us because the sin of Adam no longer applies.

The table is supposed to be like the table on The Last Supper where they turn the bread and wine into body and blood. When the Body of Christ is on the table it is special enough to hold Christ's body

Because they have to conform to the description in the Bible.
Some say its John and others say it is Mary.
Oh honey, Leonardo da Vinci was a busy bee in Milan. He worked on projects like "The Last Supper," where he painted Jesus and his crew having their final meal. He also dabbled in engineering, designing cool stuff like flying machines and war machines. Basically, he was the Renaissance man of all Renaissance men.
ate like he never would have before
It has if there are only eleven apostles with Jesus and they are all reclining at the table like the bible says. (Luke 22:14; John 13:12) Answer 2: In Luke 22:21 Jesus says the the traitor is present at the table. John 13:12 says nothing about this, but in John 13:26 Jesus gives a piece of bread to Judas. So the tradition of painting 12 apostles at the Last Supper is biblically correct. It is quite natural that they are not painted lying down - this tradition was not known in Europe at the time.
Maybe you are thinking of the paintings that exist, or photos from movies ... they are just recreations from what people imagine it was like, based on the customs of the time and descriptions. Answer The previous writer is correct, the last supper was but a "Picture" in the mind of the artist.
