"Study For 'the Last Supper'" by Benjamin West is a preparatory work created by the renowned Anglo-American painter Benjamin West (1738–1820). West, who was a pivotal figure in the development of historical painting in the 18th century, is best known for his grandiose and dramatic compositions that often depicted significant historical and religious events. This particular study is a preliminary work for a larger, more detailed painting of the same subject, "The Last Supper," which is one of the most iconic scenes in Christian art, depicting Jesus Christ's final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion.

The study showcases West's meticulous approach to composition and his deep understanding of the emotional and narrative complexities of the scene. It is likely that West created this study to experiment with the arrangement of figures, the interplay of light and shadow, and the overall mood of the final piece. The work reflects his neoclassical style, characterized by clarity of form, sober colors, and strong lines, which were influenced by his extensive study of classical art and his time spent in Italy.

West's interpretation of "The Last Supper" would have been informed by his knowledge of earlier renditions of the scene, most notably Leonardo da Vinci's famous mural in Milan. However, West's version would have also been imbued with his unique artistic vision and his ability to convey intense emotional and spiritual experiences through his art.

As a study, this work provides valuable insight into West's creative process and his methods of developing complex compositions. It also highlights his role in the transatlantic art world of the 18th century, bridging European artistic traditions with the emerging American cultural identity. The study remains an important piece for understanding both West's oeuvre and the broader context of religious art during this period.
