 LAST SUPPEK James the elder, Andrew, and Peter on his right, and John Evangelist, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, Simon, and Thaddeus on his left ; in front, alone, Judas. Com- position resembles that of Dom. Ghirlan- dajo, in S. Marco, Florence, but execution Peruginesque. Possibly painted by Peru- gino's pupils, Gerino da Pistoia, Eusebio, or Giannicola Manni. Was at one time at- tributed to Raphael. Another Last Supper, ill fresco, belonging also to this school, but attributed to Ila'phael, was recovered in 1845 from under a coat of whitewash in the re- fectory of the Convent of S. Onofrio, Flor- ence. It has been engraved by Jesi. C. & C., Italy, iii. 247 ; Jahrbuch, v. 207. 13y Frans J'onrbint, the younger, Louvre ; canvas, H. 9 ft. 5 in. x 12 ft. 2 in. ; signed, dated 1018. The apostles seated two by two on benches on each side of the table, leaving in front an opening through which is seen Christ, with a plate, a glass, and the bread before him ; at left, Judas, standing, holds the purse behind him and protests his innocence. Formerly on high altar of S. Leu and S. Gilles, Paris. Villot, Cat. Louvre. By Nicolas J'onx*in, Louvre ; canvas, H. 10 ft. 8 in. x 8 ft. 3 in. In a hall adorned with Ionic columns, Christ, standing in front of the table, distributes the bread to the disciples, who stand or kneel around him. Ordered in 1041 by Louis XIII. for Chapel of St. Germaiu-en-Laye. Engraved by P. Lombart ; Xormaud. Cat. Louvre ; Landon, CEuvres ; Smith, viii. 52. By Giulio Procaccini, L'Annunziata, Gen- oa. Considered the painter's masterpiece. By Raphael, Vatican, fresco on wall of Loggia. The disciples are seated on all sides of a square table, those seen from behind turning their heads so as to show their faces. Engraved by Sisto Badaloc- chio, and others. Grayer, Fresques de Raphael (Loges), 188 ; Larousse, iii. 704. By Unbans, Brera, Milan ; canvas, H. 10 ft. x 6 ft. 9 in. Christ, seated with his dis- ciples around a table, holds the bread in his hands and lifts his eyes to heaven. By Andrea del Sarto, Convent of S. Salvi, near Florence ; fresco on wall of refectory. Composition similar to that of Leonardo da Vinci, Christ and the disciples being seated on the same side of the table ; Judas, at the right of Jesus, protests his innocence, while the rest show astonishment or indignation. Larousse, iii. 704 ; Lavice. By Bartolommeo Schidone, Parma Mu- seum. Christ has his right hand raised above a large platter containing a lamb, his left upon St. John's shoulder ; two disciples arc standing, the rest are seated. By Tintoretto, S. Giorgio Maggiore, Ven- ice ; canvas. Represented like any large supper in an Italian inn, the figures all un- interesting ; but the smoke of the lamp turns as it rises into a multitude of angels, so writhed and twisted together as to be at first scarcely distinguishable. Ruskin, Stones of Venice, iii. 302 ; Zanotto, 631. By Tintoretto, S. Trovaso (SS. Gervasio e Protasio), Venice ; canvas. While the rest of the apostles are intently listening to Christ's words, one of them (Judas?) is stooping to help himself to wine from a flask on the floor. So much repainted as to be hardly worth notice. A similar pict- ure, attributed to Tintoretto, in the Louvre. Engraved by Sadeler ; Lovisa. Ruskin, Stones of Venice, iii. 3d. By Tintoretto, Scuola di S. Rocco, Ven- ice ; canvas. Christ at the end of the table, which is spread in a sort of large kitchen, the host being employed at a dresser in the background ; only eleven disciples, Judas having gone out ; in front, sitting on steps, two mendicants wait for the fragments, and a dog watches earnestly the movements of the company. A most unsatisfactory pict- ure. Ruskin, Stones of Venice, iii. 338. By Titian, Escorial, Spain ; canvas ; thir- teen full-length figures of life-size ; signed. Table in a vast hall, with an arched opening at each side ; Christ seated in middle, with the disciples grouped behind and around ends of the table, under which a dog is gnawing a bone ; on the floor, a vase near
