This rich and complex composition is a testament to Guido Nincheri's artistic talent. The scene is crowded with characters, as the Apostles gather around Christ, and yet Nincheri skilfully draws the viewer into the composition, using sight lines created by the mosaic floor. The horizontal line of the table brings the viewer's gaze to rest on the characters, some of whom, like Judas, gaze directly back. Nincheri's love of detail is evident in this work. He suggests Judas's coming betrayal of Christ by including in the composition the door through which Iscariot will slip away. The Last Supper features the skilful rendition of the texture of fabric, the subtle use of contrast and colour and the sensitive portraiture that are characteristic of Nincheri's best work.
