Leonardo da Vinci's iconic 15th-century mural, 'The Last Supper,' continues to provoke discussion and controversy, as seen in a recent incident at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. The painting captures the pivotal moment Jesus reveals his impending betrayal during the Passover meal. Da Vinci's innovative depiction, placing Judas among the other apostles rather than isolated, broke from tradition and has fueled fascination and reinterpretation for centuries, highlighting the artwork's enduring power.
