The artwork, titled “The Last Supper”, was created by the renowned artist Andy Warhol in 1986. This piece belongs to the Pop Art movement and is classified under the genre of religious painting.
In “The Last Supper,” Andy Warhol presents a duplicated image of Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic depiction of Christ and his apostles during the final meal before Jesus’s crucifixion. The artwork features a bold and striking use of color, dominated by shades of orange and red, which adds a contemporary touch to the traditional subject matter. The repetition of the image emphasizes Warhol’s signature style of mass production and highlights the blending of sacred art with modern pop culture elements. The piece uniquely juxtaposes the solemnity of the original biblical scene with Warhol’s vibrant and commercial aesthetic, inviting viewers to reflect on the intersection between religion and consumerism.
