Result
Your answer: —  Âˇ  Correct: D
Explanation

Leonardo da Vinci, the quintessential "Renaissance Man," painted 'The Last Supper' (Il Cenacolo) between 1495 and 1498. This masterpiece is a mural located in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.

  • The painting depicts the dramatic moment when Jesus announces to his twelve apostles that one of them will betray him, capturing their varied emotional reactions.
  • It is internationally renowned for its masterful use of linear perspective and psychological depth, which were hallmarks of the High Renaissance.
  • Leonardo utilized an experimental technique of oil and tempera on a dry wall rather than the traditional wet fresco method, contributing to its unique texture but also its fragility.

In contrast, Michelangelo is best known for the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Botticelli for 'The Birth of Venus,' and Donatello for his pioneering Renaissance sculptures.
