Leonardo, the Renaissance Master

Describe the moment captured in Leonardo’s Last Supper painting, and discuss the reasons why disciples are shown on the same side of the table. If you could walk into the studio of Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo or Raphael and observe the artist at work, which artist would you choose, what two things you would ask him, and why? Compare Leonardo to some modern figure of the 20th or 21st century
