Luca de Santis (XX) - L’Ultima Cena- XL format

Oil painting on canvas depicting 'The Last Supper' by Luca De Santis

The Last Supper is one of the most iconic subjects in Christian art, depicting Jesus Christ with the twelve apostles during their final meal together before the crucifixion. This biblical scene has been interpreted by countless artists over the centuries, from Leonardo da Vinci to Juan de Juanes, becoming a central symbol of the Christian faith and Western religious art. Representations of the Last Supper were particularly widespread during the Renaissance and the Baroque period, when artists sought to capture the dramatic moment of the announcement of betrayal. Luca De Santis created this interpretation in 1982, placing himself within the late 20th-century religious painting tradition.

This type of religious painting is highly valued by collectors of sacred art, by ecclesiastical institutions and by the faithful who wish to enrich their homes or places of worship with meaningful representations of the Christian tradition. The work particularly attracts those seeking devotional pieces of artistic quality, combining spiritual value and aesthetic presence. Such paintings are popular among collectors of contemporary religious art for their historical-cultural significance and their ability to evoke devotion and spiritual reflection.
