The participants of the Last Supper are easily recognizable in this work.  Jesus is the central figure of the table, giving the sign of blessing with his right hand.  In his left, he is holding the cup containing the "blood of Christ".  The "Beloved Disciple", John, is seen asleep on Christ's left shoulder.  The disciples are asking Jesus and discussing the identity of the betrayer.  All members of this "Last Supper", with one exception, have halos showing their importance.  Judas (foreground, left) has no halo and is shown dipping his bread into a dish.  This corresponds to John 13:23-26, where the identity of the betrayer is revealed.

     The divine nature of Christ is shown through the use of a gold background, halos, his disregard for the discussion around him, and other minor details.

    The use of gold is a common technique to imply divinity.  Byzantine artists popularized using gold backgrounds to emphasize the divine.  In this work, gold is used in the same way.

        As previously explained, halos show the important status of a person as well as divinity.  Jesus' halo not only signifies importance, but also divinity.  In many images of Christ, he is shown with a cross in his halo so as to insure that Jesus would be identified.

           Jesus also seems to be detached from the discussion around him.  The disciples are questioning him, but yet he stares out into space.  Huguet could be trying to show Christ's divinity by portraying him as looking past the boundaries of human experience and into a scene that other humans know nothing about.  

This representation of "La Ultima Cena" or Last Supper  was created circa 1470 by the Spanish artist Jaume Huguet.  It is now located in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain.

     Minor details in a work can also portray Christ as divine.  The small cross located slightly above the cup in Jesus' left hand foreshadows his resurrection to the kingdom of God and triumph over death.  Also, his head is slightly higher than the heads of the disciples which emphasizes his importance.

     This image is drawn from the Biblical texts, and only slightly from the Meditations of the Life of Christ.  In the Meditations, they table is described to be set in such a way that all disciples can eat from, or dip into, the same dish.  This aspect is shown in Huguet's portrayal.  Also, John is not described as sleeping in the Bible, but this is portrayed in the Meditations.
