I'm a sucker for Cenacalos (Cenacali?)--last suppers, one of the great themes of Renaissance art. I can take you to five in Firenze, two of them almost unvisited by tourists, one of them virtually unknown (here's a website that lists ten, not all in Firenze (link)). But it's hard to beat this one that I saw last week on the side of the church at Kottingbrunn, Austria. Note that it is theologically correct, with Judas second from the right (in white) wearing a silly grin. Note that Jesus has black hair, and this in Teutonic Austria. Maybe somebody explained to them that he was Jewish.
