Painting Description
"Study for the Last Supper: James" is a preparatory drawing by the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci for his renowned mural painting "The Last Supper," which is located in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. The study, which is believed to have been created around 1495–1496, captures the figure of the apostle James the Greater, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, in a moment of dramatic expression and movement that characterizes Leonardo's approach to the narrative of the Last Supper.
The drawing is executed in pen and ink with wash over metalpoint on paper and showcases Leonardo's mastery of human anatomy, his understanding of the psychological expressions of his subjects, and his skill in conveying the dynamics of the human form. It is one of several surviving sketches that provide insight into Leonardo's meticulous preparatory process for the larger composition. These studies allowed Leonardo to explore various poses, gestures, and interactions among the figures, which would ultimately contribute to the emotional intensity and realism of the final fresco.
"Study for the Last Supper: James" is significant not only as a work of art in its own right but also as a window into Leonardo's artistic method and his intellectual inquiry into the depiction of human emotion and divine narrative. The drawing is held in a collection of the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, which houses a rich trove of Leonardo's drawings and is considered one of the most important repositories of his works on paper.
As a testament to Leonardo's enduring legacy, the study continues to be an object of scholarly research and public fascination, offering a glimpse into the creative genius of one of the most influential artists of the Italian Renaissance. The drawing is frequently referenced in art historical literature and is often included in exhibitions that focus on Leonardo's preparatory works and his contributions to the development of Western art.
