"The last supper" is a painting which depicts the moment of announcing Jesus Christ to his disciples that he would betray one of them. The dispute has repeatedly become the personality of the apostles, but judging from the available on stored in Lugano copies of paintings the inscriptions, from left to right is: Bartholomew, Jacob the younger, Andrew, Judas, Peter, John, Thomas, Jacob the elder, Philip, Matthew, Thaddeus, Simon Zelotes. Critics believe that the song should be seen as an interpretation of communion, because in both hands, Christ points to the table with bread and wine. Unlike other similar paintings, "the last supper" shows an amazing diversity of emotions of the characters, the message of Jesus.
