The Last Supper in modern and contemporary art : Artimage
Andy Warhol. In 1984, Andy Warhol was commissioned to create a group of works based on Da Vinci’s The Last Supper - his final series before his death in 1987. As with previous works, he approached the subject by creating multiple iterations of the same image, working from both a photograph of a 19 th century engraving and a drawing found in a 1913 encyclopaedia.
