MAUNDY THURSDAY: Washing of the Disciples' Feet, the Last Supper, Agony of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, Betrayal by Judas Iscariot
JACOPO BASSANO-1542; Galleria Borghese, Rome: Jacopo Bassano's Last Supper is one of the masterpieces of 16th-century Italian painting. Instead of the elegant grouping of figures in Leonardo Da Vinci's painting, which inspired it, this dramatic scene features barefoot fishermen at the crucial moment when Christ asks who will betray him, and the light passing through a glass of wine stains the clean tablecloth red.
