B. ANALYSIS

Balance: The composition is carefully balanced, utilizing a one-point perspective to draw the
viewer's attention to the central figure of Jesus.
Contrast: The disciples are arranged symmetrically on either side, creating a sense of order and
harmony. The color palette is subdued and earthy, with a focus on browns, ochres, and muted
tones. This choice adds a timeless and solemn quality to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of
the moment. Light and Shadow, Da Vinci masterfully employs light and shadow to create depth
and highlight important elements. The light source appears to come from a window on the left,
casting shadows that define the figures and architectural details.
Movement: The disciples' varied gestures and reactions convey a sense of movement and
emotion. From expressions of surprise to disbelief, each figure contributes to the narrative
dynamics of the scene.
