The Last Supper

The picture was first attributed to the hand or close circle of the Spanish painter, Juan de Borgoña, who was active in Toledo and Avila during the early sixteenth century. More recently it has been accepted by scholars as the work of the Castillian painter known as the Portillo Master. The large panel is composed of six rough hewn boards about ten inches in width, except for the bottom member which is about five inches wide, assembled horizontally.
