Loggia di raffaello, 13, 04

Jesus is the central focus, illuminated by a radiant golden halo as he presides over a table covered in a white cloth. The apostles are shown in dynamic, expressive poses, reacting with various gestures of surprise and contemplation to his words. This fresco is part of the decorative cycle in the Vatican Logge, characterized by its clear composition and balanced architectural setting.

As the institution of the Eucharist, this scene depicts the communal transmission of a sacred mystery. In the context of Renaissance Neoplatonism, this event was often interpreted as the physical manifestation of the Divine Logos being shared with a circle of initiates, bridging the gap between the material and the spiritual.
