The Last Supper

Juanes took the arrangement from Leonardo and changed the moment: Christ lifts up the host. The apostles have their names written in their haloes. Judas has none; he sits in front, in yellow, and hides the purse.

Juan de Juanes was the leading painter of Valencia, and the panel was the centre of the altarpiece of San Esteban there. The chalice on the table is a portrait of the Holy Chalice kept in Valencia Cathedral, venerated as the cup of the Last Supper.
