How is Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper different from Tintoretto's The Last Supper? Compare and contrast the style of the two artworks.

What will be an ideal response?

The ideal answer should include:
1. In The Last Supper, Leonardo da Vinci arranged the disciples in four groups of three, two on each side of the stable, pyramidal form of Jesus, who sits calmly in the midst of his disciples' commotion.
2. Leonardo uses linear perspective to arrange the figures in a rational ordered space with Jesus at the mathematical center, and he modeled the figures using chiaroscuro to create the illusionism of three-dimensional form.
3. Unlike Leonardo's geometrical composition, Tintoretto's The Last Supper conveys intense spirituality through the scene's sweeping motion and twisting, gesturing figures that draw the viewer into the sacred drama.
4. Tintoretto accomplishes this through the plunging, off-center perspective, the otherworldly light emanating from Jesus and the disciples, and the band of angels that swoop in from above.
