PARTIAL LIST OF VENETIAN RENAISSANCE LAST SUPPERS


VENICE:
1) Last Supper, mosaic, Basilica di San Marco, 13th century.



2) Last Supper, 1573, (renamed Supper in the House of Levi by the Inquisition) - by Veronese, for the Church of San Giovanni e Paolo originally, now in the Accademia.


3-  Last Supper by Tintoretto - many churches in Venice have Last Suppers by Tintoretto.
Most famous by Tintoretto - in the choir space of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Isola di
San Giorgio Maggiore, 1594, to the right of the altar.

I am grateful to a former student, Professor Lorenzo Buonanno, who wrote his Senior Thesis on Tintoretto's Last Suppers in Venice, for alerting me to all the Last Suppers Tintoretto had painted.

Here are several other examples:

Church of Santo Stefano, 1570:



Church of San Polo, 1570:
