The "Last Supper" is a renowned religious painting that depicts the moment Jesus shares his final meal with his disciples. While often thought of as a painting, this masterpiece has inspired various sculptural interpretations, emphasizing the three-dimensionality and spatial arrangement of figures. Modern sculpture, with its freedom from traditional materials, allows artists to explore new expressions, moving beyond classic carving and modelling in stone or metal. The composition captures the dynamic emotional tension of the scene, making it a powerful example of how Art nouveau (modern) influences can subtly blend into religious themes, emphasizing expressive form and organic flow.
