In the refectory of the former Benedictine convent, this Last Supper is considered Andrea del Castagno's masterpiece. The Apostles are rigid, with stern faces picked out by harsh light.
The viewer's eye is drawn not to Jesus, but to Judas, placed on the outer side of the table. The upper part shows scenes of the Passion.
