Cenacolo di Sant’Apollonia

Cenacolo di Sant’Apollonia means the Convent of Santa Appolina. Perhaps the most famous painting in the convent is a fresco called "The Last Supper" by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea del Castagno. I've always admired depictions of the last supper because they can evoke a dramatic feeling. These are the last moments of Jesus Christ. Castagno conveys a natural style in his painting. There is no hyperbole. In terms of visits of art museums, I preferred the Uffizi. It was certainly of smaller scale. There is a certain darkness and suspicious nature in the figure of Judas, which foreshadows his eventual betrayal in the Bible.
