This painting is called The Last Supper and was painted by Tintoretto. It was painted from 1592-1594. Tintoretto painted version of the Last Supper several times throughout his life. Many describe this version as the fest of the poors. In this painting there is a hue around Jesus head giving a somewhat heavenly glow. Many versions of the last supper only shows Jesus with his disciples, but this one shows him with his disciples as well as commoners. In this version you can also see what looks to be angels toward the top of the painting. I interesting that besides the head of Jesus, 11 other individuals had a glow around there head. I couldn't help but think that these are 11 of the 12 disciples. And I'm guessing that the 12th is not glowing because it might be Judas, the one who betrayed Jesus.
